At this point, Peters proceeded into Chapter 9: Forgiveness: Grace, Love and Unfinished Business.
I here also begin to wrap up.
My conclusion is that Peters seven steps to Radical Evil may be systematized using the nested formalism of Normal Context(Actuality(Possibility)) where:
Possibility makes Actuality possible.
Actuality situates Possibility.
Actuality makes the Normal Context appear actual.
Normal Context contextualizes Actuality.
Steps 1, 2 and 3 may be formalized as Pride(Anxiety(FaithUnChristian))
Steps 4 and 5 may be formalized as Justificationself(concupiscence())
Concupiscence encompasses actuality(possibility) and may be described as “the state of being(with Cupid)”
Steps 6 and 7 may be formalized as Blasphemy(Cruelty()).
Cruelty encompasses actuality(possibility) and may be described as “the thrill of acting(without conscience)”.
These nested formalisms fall within planes that may be described as “setting the stage” (steps 1,2, and 3), “doing” (steps 4 and 5), and “perverting” (steps 6 and 7).
