One tells the truth, the other lies

I feel like God's instinct is to thread things into reality. Especially when someone is imbued with the Holy Spirit (or perhaps even when they claim to be, for he might do it for his name's sake), things said or written are made to be true with a degree of certainty, and threaded at a very fundamental level to ensure what God or God's people say is ultimately correct, and I think God does this seamlessly all the time without thinking. This means it would be to God's advantage to have one who could actually counter this effect, because this could be an indicator of an independence of will where none existed before; at the early stages of reality the ability to disagree would be a critical function. If it is the case that the entity is required to lie at all points in time, that would still be programming. So the logical question becomes, can God make a will that is independent of his own and had the ability, but is not required, to thwart God's ability to thread events into truth? 

I believe this is the original function of Satan, who is described as the father of lies. Lies, being untrue, would be a kind of superpower in this context, and possibly a welcome one in regards to storyline progression, especially in the early stages of things. What meaning could we appreciate, for example, if we had never tried to leave the garden? Life has become much more complex since that event, and while the complexity is thought to be worse, consider that it is from our perspective within the complexity that we have the grounds to say this, whereas from the perspective of the garden we had no context to compare it to anything else, whether to say the hypothetical complexity would better or worse. Now, if the end of things is the return to garden but with new features (maybe a city somewhere, possibly two trees of life), it could be that this time of complexity that we call life was required in order for that state to have meaning, or possibly even for some of the features to even have reality (consider how much more imagination we have now than then, for example, to craft treasures in heaven). There had to be a period where lies flourished in order for truth to be appreciated as we do today, it would seem. Also the end goal would not be to eradicate lies or evil, but to understand and appreciate their mechanism, so they can be utilized without causing major damage to one's relationships.

So if this reality is, at its core, a kind of binary puzzle where one entity always tells the truth and the other entity always lies, is there a way to ultimately break that pairing, or at least allow it to be broken somewhere? Is there a structure complex enough to where God could lie in a realm, or where Satan could tell the truth, each of which would seem to break a core rule of this realm at its outset? I think our reality would lose some of its tangibility if those things happened here, but perhaps part of this equation is to set up others realms where these things can happen. This is not to say these new realms would be founded on chaos, as I am unsure how that would be possible in any lasting/stable way, I am saying that the shape of reality itself would be reworked so that truth and lies would appear the same or similar as they do now, but would be different in that place, beneath the surface, in the coding. 

I am now picturing a "second generation" where there are two who exist in God's realm of the Word whose wills are uncontrolled, and therefore their power is uncontrolled as well. In so doing, a realm splitting occurs so that each of those partner's free will manifests as the "truth and lies binary" in new realms. This would likely result in two paired realms that would then exist like this, where each partner played each role in one in each realm, a different one in each most likely. At that point God and possibly Satan could occupy those other realms as characters, their wills no longer fixed in the way they are here, and they would be free in these realms of their locked-in roles they must play here and now. In the same way, the pair of "second generation" partners would remain free willed here, and act as the foundations of logic there. This arrangement of realms would mean that no one ever saw themselves as entirely fixed anymore, because even though this compulsive role would be the case somewhere, they would likely spend most if not all of their time and focus on the realm where this was not the case. Once this first pairing or perhaps double pairing of realms occurred (now I'm also picturing the possibility of a three part arrangement of realms, since the partners would still be both occupying this one), it would be a relatively simple matter to form other realms in the same way, realms where even these "second generation" partners, as well as God and Satan could each occupy the realm with a will of their own, none of them forming the foundations of truth or lies there, and therefore independent of compelled action. I am definitely meandering now, this path within the equation is likely a very long one, but it certainly helps codify a step by step process for how God becomes "unlocked," no longer compelled to do what he knows is good and right, without losing his status here as one who always does these things. I feel like what I am describing are simply paired/linked eep pockets though, just a little better fleshed out than before.
