''God's Debris'' creates a cohesive but Iconoclast Philosophical universe, via the idea that the simplest explanation is usually the likeliest, that surmises our universe's Omnipotent God annihilated himself (because God would already know everything possible except his own lack of existence) and exists now as the smallest units of Matter and the law of Probability , or "God's debris." Adams offers recommendations on everything from an alternative theory for Planetary Motion to successful recipes for Relationships under his system. He hypothesizes that God is currently reassembling himself though the continued formation of a Collective Intelligence , modern examples including the development of the Internet . He bills ''God's Debris'' as a Thought Experiment , challenging readers to differentiate scientifically accepted theories from "creative baloney." The central character, according to the introduction, knows "literally everything", and Adams, whose knowledge is as relatively limited as the next man, had to come up with a way around this. He used the aforementioned "simplest explanation" for each concept raised in the book because, while "in this world of complications, the simplest explanation is usually dead wrong," there's something more comfortable and more convincing in the simplest explanation than in anything complicated. This book defines God as primordial matter (like Quarks and Lepton s) and the law of Probability . This book can be classified as a modern version of the Hindu philosophy of Advaita Vedanta . Its only deviation is the statement that "There can only be one Avatara", whereas in Hindu mythology there can be multiple avatars existing simultaneously. For example, in the Ramayana , Rama and his three brothers were said to be the avatars of Vishnu . Another similarity the book bears to Vedantic texts, such as the Gita and Upanishads , is its narrative style. Much like these ancient texts, it has a question and answer format between two characters in a fictional setting. ''God's Debris'' also subscribes to the Lakoffian point of view. Lakoff said, "Our ordinary conceptual system, in terms of which we both think and act, is fundamentally metaphorical in nature." Given Adams' fame as the author of the Dilbert comics, publishers were wary of publishing any book by Adams without Dilbert content. The book was therefore released initially as an EBook (with comparatively small "publishing" costs). Based on its rapid success, however, it was also quickly released in hardcover format. The book can now be found for free online (see external links below). CMM FOR THE SOUL Page 123 of ''God's Debris'' contains a CMM (Consciousness Maturity Model) definition for the soul. Just like Software Engineering Institute SEI-CMM , it too has five levels.
