yes the universe seems to have teleological failsafes that upon closer inspection reveal themselves to be basic principles of systems theory. even the notion of evil souls dissolving in the outer darkness kinda intimates this, that pluralities without centers are inherently dissolutive. the spirit is the "sun" that ensures synchronization with langan's global teleology.

schelling has a lot to say about this as well. the dark principle as the principle of an unconscious will is effective only its self-suspension, only when it provides the basis on which spirit works. spirit is the ground's (self-)domestication. when the ground asserts itself, healthy top-down causation in the organism is threatened. global unity is inverted into dispersive particularization. what's interesting here is langan's potentiality can be tied to schelling's dark ground, as an unconscious potentiality of willing that wills to will only its own willing

in essence evil is the assertion of telic "unbounded potential" (Chaos) within the logic of the real (God, ie a self-consistent ontological syntax). God exists as a stomach that "digests" transcendent potential to realize freedom and groundlessness within necessity, AS necessity.
