The negative pole is a reference and standard, to which any thing of a category can be compared, to assess its degree of value and consequence against what is something greater, more or better. An example might be the archetypal images of God and the devil or the prince and the pauper. Monotheism also called Religion is Progressive, as the One pillar of superior perfection like the superior God, the superior race, the superior sex, nationality, ethnicity, the road to which is progressive development, as the bipolarity of the the Dyadic Authoritative Comparative, such as God and the devil or heaven and hell. The individual is assessed value and Consequence as some degree between zero or no-worth and no-soul, or the liberal assignment of one as those who may be forgiven, and ten or the perfection of God and the purity of heaven. The heathen is a zero or one while the monotheistic priest may be an eight, nine or ten.

Inherent to both systems but especially the Metaphysical Ideal is the class system as based in numerical money or Moneytheism. Ten thousand a year is low where as a million a year is the Meta money. Fifty thousand to a hundred may be middle class, as an example.
