It is clear that the OCP as stated in (10.50) does not guarantee that the

Universe will give rise to Homo sapiens with a mental capacity. To guar-

antee the presence of Homo sapiens in this Universe who has the ability

to know how the Universe began, it is necessary to make a higher-order

postulate that subsumes the organic cosmological principle and provides

a sufficient condition for such self-knowledge.

To accomplish this feat, we need a more comprehensive condition

subsuming OCP, which I suggest here to be the existence of the cosmo-

language defined in Figure 10.29.

In order for this Universe to Know Itself (e.g., its origin) through the

mental activities of Homo sapiens in It, it is necessary for the Universe

to possess the cosmolanguage so that organisms use it to communicate

with one another and with their environment. (10.51)

We may refer to Statement (10.51) as the cosmological language

principle (CLP) or cosmological communication principle (CCP).

Statements (10.50) and (10.51) are obviously interconnected, since Homo

sapiens is a carbon-based organism. We can therefore combine these two

statements into one as follows:

The numerical values of the physical constants of this Universe are as

they are not only because these values constitute the necessary condi-

tions for giving rise to carbon-based organisms on this planet but also

because they constitute the sufficient conditions for endowing to some

of the organisms in It the capacity to know the origin and the purpose

of the Universe. (10.52)

I claim that Statement (10.52) constitutes the necessary and sufficient

condition for the existence of the self-knowing universe, or Universum

sapiens, which may be algebraically expressed as follows:

Self-Knowing Universe = Organic Cosmological Principle +

Cosmolanguage Principle (10.53)

where the equality sign should be read as “results necessarily from”.

Equation (10.53) may be referred to as the self-knowing cosmological

principle (SKCP), which comprises two components — the organic
