Dimension-by-Dimension Evidence
What each persona's writings reveal about their stance on each of the six dimensions.
Time
Pelagius
Created and finite; standard Christian eschatological structure but with stronger emphasis on the temporal-moral career of the individual.
Space
Pelagius
Substantival, created; conventional.
Matter
Pelagius
Substantival, created; conventional.
Observer
Pelagius
Robust libertarian moral agency; no inherited guilt, no bondage of the will. Individuals are responsible for their own acts.
Energy
Pelagius
Conventional.
Information
Pelagius
Personal information conserved through immortality, with moral self-formation as the work of the present life.
Internal Tensions
Where each persona's working synthesis strains against itself.
Pelagius's extant writings are more moderate than his condemned theses; "Pelagianism" as the technical doctrine condemned at Carthage may be partly an Augustinian construction. The defeated position has been intermittently rehabilitated — by Erasmus, by the Counter-Reformation Molinists, by liberal modern theology, and by secular humanism — usually under other names.
