Founding purposes

Of our purpose

By virtue of its philanthropic vocation, the Omnia Sub Sole Foundation, presently in the course of incorporation, proposes to undertake a thorough examination of the physical world, the origin of the world and the current world order. To this end, it shall gather and organise knowledge, subject existing models to scrutiny and formulate conclusions founded upon verifiable evidence and analysis.

It shall be the task of the Foundation to inquire into the phenomena of nature, the origin of all that exists and the structures that govern human coexistence, with a view to discerning their foundations, scope and limitations, and proposing improvements conducive to human dignity and wellbeing.

Observation, measurement, experimentation and the examination of sources and documents shall constitute the means of this work. Every conclusion shall remain subject to the extent of the evidence assembled, to scrutiny of its reasoning and to such correction as the facts may warrant.

Of the planned cloister

The permanent seat is planned on a parcel of 1,012 m² situated in El Rancho I, Santa Rosa de Lima, in the vicinity of Cartagena de Indias. The founder shall convey the parcel to the Foundation by deed of donation once the founding members have been gathered and the budget for the first phase of construction has been secured. To this contribution are added the financial resources, labour and personal dedication that the founder has devoted to the undertaking since its inception.

It is intended to erect a two-storey cloister, provided with a library, an archive and rooms for study and assembly. Construction shall proceed in successive phases, commencing upon the formalisation of the said donation.

Order of studies

Of study and inquiry

The work of the Foundation shall be organised into three complementary fields, in a deliberate order: the examination of the physical world, the study of its origin and the analysis of the current world order. Each shall rely on methods and evidence appropriate to the nature of its subject.

Of the physical world

Geodesy: Examination of the form and dimensions of the Earth, together with the supposed gravity field, by observation and measurement. This shall encompass a thorough study of gravitational theory, its foundations, its predictions and the experimental evidence by which it may be tested.
Selenology: Study of the physical properties, surface, origin and evolution of the Moon, with particular examination of its apparent position in the heavens and its distance from the Earth.
Solar physics: Examination of the structure, activity and radiation of the Sun, its apparent position in the heavens and its distance from the Earth, together with its relations to the terrestrial environment.
Fluid mechanics: Study of water at rest and in motion, with examination of pressure, currents, waves and circulation.

Of the origin of the world

Cosmogony and natural theology: The study of the origin of the world and of its Creator through the creation accounts of the various cultures, ancient texts and philosophy. It constitutes a field of research, not a confession of faith: the Foundation is not a church and requires adherence to no creed.

Of the current world order

The contemporary world order shall be a subject of inquiry: its institutions, its forms of government and the interests bearing upon the lives of peoples. Such analysis shall rest upon documented facts, corroborated sources and verifiable comparisons.

Of the method of inquiry

Every investigation shall proceed from a defined question, test its explanations against the available evidence and submit its findings to review. Conclusions shall be made known with a statement of their sources and of such limitations as may apply. The research dossier shall set forth the methods and tests proposed for each discipline.
