An ultra-fine-grained model adding dimensions of consciousness and value. Building on the 8 Axes, we add: Axis 9: Physical-Mental (reality includes mind or not). Axis 10: Value-Neutral (reality has intrinsic value vs. value is projected). Axis 11: Purposeful-Purposeless (reality has telos vs. blind). Axis 12: Finite-Infinite (reality is bounded vs. unbounded). These twelve axes generate 4096 metaphysical positions. Scientific materialism says physical, value-neutral, purposeless, finite (maybe infinite universe, but bounded in other ways). Spiritual worldviews often say mental (or includes mind), value-laden, purposeful, infinite. The 12 Axes reveal that the conflict between science and spirituality isn't one debate—it's twelve. And different spiritual traditions occupy different positions on each axis.
