Title The Universe of Mind: Innocence, Interference, and the Asymmetry of Judgement Publication Details Journal: International Journal of Theology, Philosophy and Science (IJTPS) Publication Date / Issue: December 2026 (Accepted July 2026) ISSN: 2601-1697 (Online) / 2601-1689 (Print) Author: Yasir Arafat Maassoom Affiliation: Independent Researcher, Chittagong, Bangladesh Description / Abstract This article presents a model of mind grounded in systems thinking, developmental biology, immunology, and philosophical reflection. The mind is conceptualized not as a physical entity but as a vast, non-local universe convoluted with the body yet ontologically distinct. Drawing on evidence from fetal development, DNA repair mechanisms, and the asymmetry of moral judgment, I argue that the mind is born innocent—foundationally oriented toward goodness—and that evil enters only through external interference. The mother is identified as the first source of both goodness and ambiguity, while the father contributes equally to the DNA foundation. The model accounts for the overwhelming preference for rewards over sanctions observed in multiple empirical studies on teacher motivation (Bourgeois 2015; Yunidar, Ahyani, and Wachidi 2024; Hwang 2024) and extends to questions of mind across species and human distinctiveness. A critical examination of Darwinian evolution is offered, arguing that undirected evolution requires supplementation by directed interference. The paper further argues that evil is vastly weaker than good, that the systems driver (whether God or a cosmic principle) permits evil deliberately as a test or contrast, and that perpetual balancing inputs and intricate human interconnectedness prevent sharp divergence. Key challenges are addressed, and testable predictions are proposed for psychology, anthropology, and comparative biology.
