Dimension-by-Dimension Evidence
What each persona's writings reveal about their stance on each of the six dimensions.
Time
Īśvarakṛṣṇa
Cyclical kalpic time; deterministic karmic causation within prakṛti, with puruṣa as the inactive witness.
Space
Īśvarakṛṣṇa
Infinite substantival space within prakṛti.
Matter
Īśvarakṛṣṇa
Substantival prakṛti unfolding through the three guṇas (sattva, rajas, tamas).
Observer
Īśvarakṛṣṇa
Plural disembodied puruṣas; passive witnesses; multiple time-instances through reincarnation. Cosmic-ordering through the guṇa-balance.
Energy
Īśvarakṛṣṇa
Conserved within prakṛti's reversible cosmic respiration.
Information
Īśvarakṛṣṇa
Personal puruṣa eternally conserved (the puruṣa never actually became entangled — only seemed to).
Internal Tensions
Where each persona's working synthesis strains against itself.
Samkhya's strict atheism (no Īśvara, no creator) sits awkwardly within orthodox Hinduism that nominally accepts it. The relation of Samkhya's plural puruṣas to Vedantic Brahman has been disputed since Sankara. Patanjali's Yoga absorbed most of Samkhya's metaphysics while adding a non-creator Īśvara as an aid to liberation, suggesting that classical Samkhya's rigorous atheism was too austere for most devotional users.
