Dimension-by-Dimension Evidence
What each persona's writings reveal about their stance on each of the six dimensions.
Time
Michael Servetus
Christian created-and-eschatological time; Servetus's reformist program is restorationist — recovering pre-Nicene Christianity.
Space
Michael Servetus
Conventional 16th-century substantival.
Matter
Michael Servetus
Substantival; his anatomical work treats matter as a proper object of empirical inquiry, including in religious-theological matters (the pulmonary circulation appears in the *Restitutio*).
Observer
Michael Servetus
Embodied rational soul; libertarian-cooperative free will under grace; primacy of individual conscience against ecclesial-magisterial authority.
Energy
Michael Servetus
Pre-thermodynamic.
Information
Michael Servetus
Personal information conserved through immortality; doctrinal information should track Scripture, not extra-scriptural tradition.
Internal Tensions
Where each persona's working synthesis strains against itself.
Servetus's anti-Trinitarianism, rejected by Reformers and Catholics alike, made him doubly heretical; his execution by a Protestant magistrate at Calvin's instigation has haunted Reformed political theology ever since. The intellectual history is harder than the cultural memory: 16th-century norms broadly accepted heresy as a capital matter, and many Reformers (Luther, Bullinger) defended the execution. Modern Reformed self-criticism is substantial.
