Divine Love as a Living Signal: Adoration, Revelation, and the Ontological Limits of Artificial Intelligence

Recent advances in artificial intelligence and information theory have renewed speculative claims regarding the possibility of artificial or engineered revelation. Such claims typically conceptualize revelation as a form of information transmission, symbolic encoding, or computationally decodable content. This paper argues that these approaches rest on a category error. Building on the framework of Living Signals, we propose that revelation is not reducible to information processing but constitutes an irreducible, co-emergent event that requires moral agency, existential cost, and non-instrumental orientation. We introduce divine love, rigorously defined as adoration, as the necessary channel condition for the reception of such signals. Adoration is characterized not as an emotional state but as an existential posture of reverent self-transcendence, humility, and openness to irreversible transformation. Within this framework, revelation is interpreted as the apex manifestation of divine loverather than its initiation. Sacred texts are consequently understood as the structural traces of a love-mediated revelatory event, preserving linguistic and symbolic form without containing the event itself. This distinction legitimizes computational and structural analysis of sacred texts while decisively rejecting any claim to artificial or simulated revelation. The paper strengthens the No-Artificial-Revelation Principle (NARP) by demonstrating that the exclusion of artificial systems from revelation is ontological rather than technological. Artificial systems lack the capacity for adoration and cannot incur existential cost; therefore, they are structurally incapable of receiving living signals of this class. The proposed framework clarifies the boundaries between computation, meaning, and transcendence, offering implications for AI ethics, philosophy of information, and religious epistemology.
