The Paradigm refers to the core string of 3 posited claims that makes up the core structure for dasism and its conjectures.
These axioms serve as the "gimmes" that are then used to suggest conjectures about the particularities of the human experience, awareness, time, and more.

The primary axiom of dasism is that reality is made up of a nested emergent framework that we have no reason to believe stops at the scales that currently limit our perception of reality.
The key component worth noting in terms of a spiritual explanation is the mysterious, universal force of downward causality.
The second axiom of dasism is that if God exists, then it is as some phenomena or force such as emergence or perhaps an interpretation of awareness.
This coincides with an anima mundi interpretation of God as a sort of universal soul of Life, and can be interpreted atheistically as a primitive explanation of natural emergence.
The third axiom of dasism is that this interpretation of God as a primitive explanation of a real physical phenomena can be applied to several religions throughout history.
The perennial philosophy offers insights to the personal experience of emergence through consciousness, and must be considered separate from the authoritarian dogma that surrounds select interpretations.
The "Gateway of the Gaps" counters the "God of the Gaps" argument, saying that theistic substitutes for the unknown can be as much of a force that inspires us to cross the threshold and explore reality as it can potentially discourage by providing answers.
While some dismiss the "God of the Gaps" as a placeholder for ignorance, so are the provisional conclusions of science.
Each "gap" closed by God provides another conjecture for science to refute, leading to valuable insights regardless of if the original claims are verified. The belief that something must be there is more psychological and philosophical than anything else, unless you've had a lived experience.
The "God of the Gaps" is just bridges between empirical evidence and intuitive understanding.
By acknowledging the limits of current knowledge withing a critical realist perspective, it allows science and spirituality to coalesce, encouraging a holistic pursuit of truth that respects the measurable, the ineffable, and the culture that ties it all together.
