Progressive Materialism begins with the premise that the natural world and universe, to include humankind, possesses no inherent consequence and thus Consequential Integrity must be created or apprised by means of conception or spiritual inspiration. (Subtopic: Mundane Consciousness)

In terms of the reasoning of Progressive Materialism, neither any aspect of the Given Existence or the individual, possesses inherent consequence. Consequential Integrity must be conceptually or inspirationally ascertained and emulated, and is embodied in perfected models, or what are termed Metaphysical Ideals and Extra Mundane Authorities, such as the elite status of wealth or heaven. These models are standards that are independent of the individual, and to which the person is expected to conform termed Authoritative Imperatives. To enjoy respectability, the individual is required to conform to the standard of the culture, society and or religion. (Subtopics: Dyadic Authoritative Comparative and Antipodal Associative Paradigm)

From the Conservative Spiritual perspective, only life that is suited to its environment is capable of survival. By virtue of the fact that any given entity produced by the universe can reproduce itself in exact or near-like form ad infinitum, in accordance with a stable environment, would seem to sanction its Consequential Integrity and is considered as evidence of its Consequence. However such a given entity only duplicates itself, and does not create any result and product that explains it, as anything other than what experience indicates it to be. A specific meaning, purpose, reason and Consequence still cannot be determined. This inability of determination is termed the Absent Determinant.

The Progressive Materialist, possessing no inherent Consequence, would not be expected, and may be considered incapable of recognizing significance. The criterion for what constitutes Consequential Integrity, not being an aspect of the natural world, exists independent of the individual as ideals.
