In Gnosticism, there is a belief that humanity is allied with a divine entity against both the flawed creation and its irrational creator. This philosophy posits that the universe itself is characterized by irrationality, reflecting the madness of the mind that governs it. Such a view suggests that both the universe and the creator lack true comprehension, and this leads to a chaotic existence for humanity.

However, according to Dr. Stone in Philip K. Dick's VALIS Trilogy, there exists a higher, true God above the irrational chaos, one who is not mad. This true God is seen as a benevolent force that has surpassed the world's powers, coming to aid humanity. This divine presence is identified with the Logos, described as living information, which signifies a pathway to understanding amidst the irrationality that pervades the universe.
