15:2.1 Only the [[Universal Father]] knows the location and actual [[number]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 inhabited worlds] in space; he calls them all by [[name]] and number. I can give only the approximate number of inhabited or inhabitable planets, for some local universes have more worlds suitable for intelligent life than others. Nor have all projected [[local universes]] been [[organized]]. Therefore the estimates which I offer are solely for the [[purpose]] of affording some [[idea]] of the immensity of the [[material]] [[creation]].

15:2.2 There are ''seven superuniverses'' in the [[grand universe]], and they are constituted approximately as follows:

*1. 15:2.3 1. ''The System''. The [[basic]] [[unit]] of the supergovernment consists of about one thousand inhabited or inhabitable worlds. Blazing suns, cold worlds, planets too near the hot suns, and other [[spheres]] not suitable for [[creature]] habitation are not included in this [[group]]. These one thousand worlds adapted to support life are called a system, but in the younger systems only a comparatively small number of these worlds may be inhabited. Each inhabited planet is presided over by a [[Planetary Prince]], and each local system has an [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_46 architectural sphere as its headquarters] and is ruled by a [[System Sovereign]].

*2. 15:2.4 2. ''The Constellation''. One hundred systems (about 100,000 inhabitable planets) make up a constellation. Each constellation has an [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_43#43:1._THE_CONSTELLATION_HEADQUARTERS architectural headquarters] sphere and is presided over by three [[Vorondadek]] Sons, the [[Most Highs]]. Each constellation also has a [[Faithful of Days]] in [[observation]], an [[ambassador]] of the [[Paradise Trinity]].

*3. 15:2.5 3. ''The Local Universe''. One hundred constellations (about 10,000,000 inhabitable [[planets]]) constitute a local universe. Each local universe has a [[magnificent]] [[Satania|architectural headquarters]] world and is ruled by one of the co-ordinate [[Creator Sons]] of God of the order of Michael. Each universe is blessed by the presence of a [[Union of Days]], a [[representative]] of the [[Paradise Trinity]].

*4. 15:2.6 4. ''The Minor Sector''. One hundred local universes (about 1,000,000,000 inhabitable planets) constitute a minor sector of the superuniverse [[government]]; it has a wonderful headquarters world, wherefrom its rulers, the Recents of Days, administer the affairs of the minor sector. There are three [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_18#18:5._THE_RECENTS_OF_DAYS Recents of Days], [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_18#PAPER_18:_THE_SUPREME_TRINITY_PERSONALITIES Supreme Trinity Personalities], on each minor sector headquarters.

*5. 15:2.7 5. ''The Major Sector''. One hundred minor sectors (about 100,000,000,000 inhabitable worlds) make one major sector. Each major sector is provided with a superb headquarters and is presided over by three [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_18#18:4._THE_PERFECTIONS_OF_DAYS Perfections of Days], Supreme Trinity Personalities.

*6. 15:2.8 6. ''The Superuniverse''. Ten major sectors (about 1,000,000,000,000 inhabitable planets) constitute a superuniverse. Each superuniverse is provided with an enormous and glorious headquarters world and is ruled by three [[Ancients of Days]].

*7. 15:2.9 7. ''The Grand Universe''. Seven superuniverses make up the present organized grand universe, consisting of approximately seven trillion inhabitable worlds plus the architectural spheres and the one billion inhabited spheres of [[Havona]]. The superuniverses are ruled and administered indirectly and [[Reflectivity|reflectively]] from [[Paradise]] by the [[Seven Master Spirits]]. The billion worlds of [[Havona]] are directly administered by the [[Eternals of Days]], one such Supreme Trinity Personality presiding over each of these perfect spheres.
