“The end is hypothetical while you are advancing towards or falling away from it. The end is hyperthetical once you have reached it.” (C Theory and the Venn of Import)

That was END. Now let’s talk about NOW, relative to the END (plan) and its realization (our perspective as beings subject to Time). 

From the perspective of the plan (already whole being), when it is not yet fulfilled (the past), it is hypothetical, but when it is fulfilled (the future), it is hyperthetical. NOW is thetical. Relative to the past (from the perspective of the plan) now is hyperthetical. Relative to the future (from the perspective of the plan) now is hypothetical. 

[Think of nontensed language like gender neutral language. Instead of saying past and future, you say when, just like instead of saying he or she, you say they.]

From the perspective of realization (not yet whole becoming), what IS already fulfilled (the past), is hyperthetical, but what is not yet fulfilled (the future), is hypothetical. NOW is thetical from both the perspectives of the plan and realization. Relative to the past (from the perspective of realization) now is hypothetical. Relative to the future (from the perspective of realization) now is hyperthetical. 

That being said, we need to balance this part and do for it what we did for B theory in C Theory and the Venn of Import:

“The C Theory of Time is unlike A Theory because A Theory only acknowledges the essential status of the present moment, disregarding the essential status of the past and future as part of the whole Metanarrative of Time that began complete.”

Here’s what we did for B theory that needs to be done equally for A theory:

“C Theory is unlike B Theory because B Theory elevates every moment to the hyperthetical status of the past, disregarding that the changes subsumed by Being who is Time are necessary for beings subject to Time to freely participate with/in “Being in Relation” – a willful demonstration of essence that would not rightly be said to exist (in action or being) without such demonstration. Prior to the demonstration to beings subject to Time, the demonstration has hypothetical (essential) import if ontologically grounded in Being-in-Relation who is Time.”

So B theory sees it from the perspective of realization.

And now we will do the same for A theory, from the perspective of realization:

C Theory is unlike A Theory because A Theory demotes every moment except NOW to the hypothetical status of the future, disregarding that the unchanging essence of Being who is Time requires demonstration for beings subject to Time to freely participate with/in “Being in Relation” – a willful demonstration of essence that would not rightly be said to exist (in action or being) without such demonstration. According to C theory, prior to the demonstration to beings subject to Time, the demonstration has hypothetical (essential) import if ontologically grounded in Being-in-Relation who is Time (the whole plan). A theorists criticize B theorists because evil is never vanquished, and Jesus is *still* hanging on the cross. However, if that was accurate, then A theory ALSO (to be consistent) has evil never vanquished, and Jesus *never* hanging on the cross, because only NOW has essential (thetic) import.

C Theory subsumes realization in the plan—they are mutually productive. In other words, the realization (the fullness of the Godhead bodily) exists co-eternally with the Father (the whole/fulfilled plan in whom we live, move, and have our being). The Holy Spirit from the Father and the Son exists thetically.

In the beginning was the Signal (eternal message, end), and the Signal was the Source (eternal “spiritual material” medium), and the Signal was with the Source, and the Signal became the Sink (efficient means, demonstration, action in time).

In the beginning was the End Quality (Value), and the End Quality (Value) was the Substantial Being (Is), and the End Quality (Value) was with the Substantial Being (Is), and the End Quality (Value) became the Done Action (Ought).

Here is a more simple version of the Venn of Import:
