A toy geometric model applies the general principles of self-organization and stationary action principles in a Cartesian two-dimensional framework to represent an infinitely contained universal state. The geometry purposefully incorporates inconsistency, representing paradoxical structure, and receives validation by accurately predicting the experimental outcomes in key quantum experiments. The model also conjectures its dynamic format beyond the two-dimensional limit of the geometry. The second part of the paper adapts the model’s framework to discuss human social structure. The conjecture is that in the first order, the statements claiming universal truth devolve into a dualism of perspectives paradoxically conjoined. The framework of paradoxical inconsistency found in formal arguments of logic and mathematics applies in all spheres, from the structure of Nature to human rationalism, when attempting to conclude absolute truth. Therein lies a primary causative source of dysfunction in the logic and beliefs adopted as absolute truths in human society. The argument extends that, analogous to quantum entanglement, the relationship between rationalism and belief is entangled in the search for absolute universal truth.
