Theology as Accumulated Displacement: Mortality Fear as the Originating D(ξ), Wrong Attractors of False Certainty, and the Ground State of Honest Unknowing

We apply the Displacement Framework to religion and theology, formalizing mortality awareness as an irreducible displacement D(xi_mortality) — one of the few displacements that cannot be resolved by return, since death is an absorbing state. Religion is modeled as the primary human construction of a theological wrong attractor W_theological: afterlife, divine witness, and cosmic purpose provide apparent stability without actual return to ground.

Six formal propositions are derived covering mortality's irreducibility, the theological wrong attractor architecture, grammar as diagnostic of ground-state vs. displaced discourse (Beatitudes vs. Pauline epistles), intolerance of uncertainty as wrong-attractor entry driver under social disruption, mysticism as partial or complete return from the theological wrong attractor, and the landscape's structural completeness.

Lucretius's De Rerum Natura is identified as the structural inverse of Christian theology — not a refutation but an opposite attractor. Paul's theology is analyzed as construction from within displacement (Damascus conversion as guilt-driven wrong-attractor entry).
