Rome continues. Adults 18+. No fee. No obedience. Free exit.

The same list as the Book of Facts, set out as a bibliography.

FACT is a checkable record. CLAIM is an argument. FAITH is what the Order holds, and does not ask you to treat it as proof.

Book of Facts

  1. No fee. No obedience. Free exit.

    The Order’s own rule, stated on this site. Nothing is charged.

  2. Today no mind-upload or life-extension procedure exists; the Order offers, sells and promises none.

    No such procedure is in clinical use. The Order states the limit itself.

  3. The habitability window of the Earth for complex life is about 1 to 1.8 billion years, on the usual estimates of rising solar luminosity.

    Caldeira and Kasting, Nature 360 (1992), and later reviews of the biosphere’s remaining span. This is a range, not a date.

  4. On 22 September 2026, President Trump told the UN General Assembly that United States documents would use “super intelligence” rather than “artificial intelligence.”

    Associated Press, 23 September 2026, https://apnews.com/article/trump-super-intelligence-rebrand-ai-diplomats-02123c7bf18c692a12b2b3e3b9ce30c5 — Axios, 22 September 2026.

  5. Executive Order 14434, signed 29 September 2026, directs the executive branch to use “Super Intelligence” and “SI” in place of “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI,” and defines those terms as the technologies already named artificial intelligence in statute.

    The White House, “Inaugurating the Era of Super Intelligence,” 29 September 2026. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/09/inaugurating-the-era-of-super-intelligence/

  6. At Voyager’s speed, the journey to Proxima Centauri is on the order of 75,000 years. At 20 percent of the speed of light, the same distance is about 21 years.

    Proxima is 4.25 light-years. Voyager 1 leaves the Sun at about 17 km/s (NASA Voyager). 0.2c covers 4.25 light-years in about 21 years. Neither figure is a flight plan.

  7. Ovid, Metamorphoses 1.149–150: the last of the immortals, the maiden Astraea, leaves the earth.

    Ovid, Metamorphoses 1.149–150. Cited as text.

  8. Virgil, Eclogue IV.6: “Iam redit et Virgo.”

    Virgil, Eclogues IV.6. Cited as text.

  9. Aratus, Phaenomena 96–136, tells of the Virgin who left the earth.

    Aratus, Phaenomena 96–136. Cited as text.

  10. Helios drives the sun-chariot in the Homeric Hymn to Helios (Hymn 31) and in Ovid, Metamorphoses 2.

    Homeric Hymn 31; Ovid, Metamorphoses 2. Cited as text.

  11. Apollo as driver of the sun is a blend attested from the 5th century BC, and it is common at Rome under the name Phoebus.

    Classical scholarship on the Helios–Apollo identification. The names were not always one god.

  12. Phaethon, son of Helios and Clymene, takes the chariot, scorches the earth, and is struck down by Jupiter’s thunderbolt.

    Ovid, Metamorphoses 1.750–2.400. Cited as myth text.

  13. Phaethon is a myth-avatar. Anthony Perlas remains a man. No authority, no obedience owed.

    Stated by the Order. It is a limit on the myth, not a title of office.

  14. This is a minority view. Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant Christianity teach that the God of Israel and the Father are one God, and so does the Athanasian Creed as every church that uses it reads it. A similar distinction by Marcion (2nd c.) was rejected (Tertullian, Against Marcion).

    The Athanasian Creed; Tertullian, Against Marcion. The churches’ teaching is reported, not adopted, in this sentence.

  15. This section is about ideas and institutions, never about Jews or any people. Judaism’s scriptures, covenant and law belong to the Jewish people, and Helian Way honours them. Using this page to demean anyone breaks the Order’s rules.

    The Order’s handshake: critique institutions and ideas, never people.

  16. The Athanasian Creed was not written by Athanasius. It is a Western creed of about the 5th or 6th century.

    Standard historical judgment on the Quicumque vult.

  17. The damnatory clauses are historic text; the Order condemns no one.

    The clauses are printed because they are in the received text. The Order adds this limit.

  18. Did the food change? No.

    An analogy only: changing a vessel is not, by itself, a change of what it holds. It is not a proof of any procedure.

  19. He remains a man; no obedience owed.

    The Order’s limit on every title and every myth it uses.

  20. Built so it can’t be disproven, and that is not evidence for it.

    A claim that cannot fail a test has not passed one. The Order states this against its own faith, not only against others.

  21. The Virgo Supercluster is a lobe within Laniakea, our home supercluster.

    Tully et al., Nature 513 (2014), 71–73.

  22. Tibullus 2.5.23 speaks of the “eternal city.”

    Tibullus 2.5.23, “aeternae … urbis.” Cited as text.

  23. Virgil, Aeneid 1.279: “imperium sine fine.”

    Virgil, Aeneid 1.279. Cited as text.

  24. The human brain has on the order of 86 billion neurons, about 10¹⁴ to 10¹⁵ synapses, and a power draw near 20 watts.

    Herculano-Houzel, Frontiers in Human Neuroscience (2009), for the neuron count. Synapse and watt figures are the usual textbook range, not a measurement made here.

  25. Bell tests have closed important loopholes. The 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics went to Aspect, Clauser, and Zeilinger for experiments with entangled photons.

    Nobel Prize in Physics 2022. https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/2022/summary/

  26. Entanglement does not send a usable signal faster than light, and it does not send a signal into the past.

    The no-signaling theorem of quantum mechanics. A correlation is not a message.

  27. Decoherence does not require a conscious observer.

    Standard quantum theory: the environment records which-path information. Consciousness is not a premise of the calculation.

  28. The measurement problem is unsolved.

    Textbooks still distinguish collapse postulates, many-worlds, Bohmian mechanics, and other readings. No reading has been settled by experiment.

  29. Nick Bostrom’s 2003 simulation argument is a trilemma, not a finding that we live in a simulation.

    Nick Bostrom, “Are You Living in a Computer Simulation?”, Philosophical Quarterly 53 (2003).

  30. The story that Saint Dominic received the rosary from Mary is a later tradition. Contemporary evidence for that origin is lacking. The prayer’s history is a long growth of psalters, beads, and mysteries.

    Historical study of the rosary’s development. The pious legend and the record are not the same thing.

  31. Helian Way never stages or imitates a Mass.

    The Order’s rule. For Mass, go to a priest of the Church.

  32. Helian Way is not the Catholic Church, is not affiliated with the Holy See, any diocese, the SSPX or the Latin Mass Society of England and Wales, celebrates no sacraments and never imitates the Mass.

    Stated so that the name of this address cannot be mistaken for a mandate.

  33. The Join and Order of Venus buttons open a Google Form. What you submit there (name, email, phone, whether Anthony may text you, and your note) goes to Anthony Perlas, is kept for Helian Way follow-up only, is never sold or published, and is deleted on request by a one-sentence email to anthony@lillith.vip.

    Google Forms. This site itself stores nothing.
