No, I don't think so at all. The Ra material is holistic.
Reductionism argues that the whole is the sum of it's parts and that understanding of the whole can be achieved through careful examination of the smallest parts, holism argues that the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts and that to understand the workings of the whole one must look at the big picture and contemplate the relationships between the various parts.
A reductionist would argue that the mind is simply the result of chemical exchanges and neurons firing, the Ra material states that the individual mind is the reflection of something greater, the archetypal mind, and that all thoughts are drawn from the original thought of the one infinite creator.
I don't personally see your quote about photons as being very persuasive as an argument that the Ra material is reductionist in nature. The photon may be the basic building block of our physical illusion, but these photons were set in motion by the original thought of the creator.
Now as for wikipedia, I don't really find it to be a credible source at all, so all this talk about wanting strict reliable source, aiming for accuracy, etc. is funny to me. Wikipedia is the playground of ideologues and people with agendas regarding the control of information. As a result wikipedia is full of misinformation. I don't really give a hoot if there is a Law of One article on wikipedia except for the fact that it might point people towards reading the material for themselves which I think would be a good thing.
I mean, why can't we have a page for the Law of One when there are pages for stuff like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friend_zone (one of the funniest/saddest talk pages on that article btw)? If you are so gung ho about preserving the accuracy of information on wikipedia Adonai, why not go through ALL the wikipedia pages you find inaccurate and preform the slash and burn/flag for deletion manoeuvre on them? Why just the Law of One page? Personally, it makes me think you are just one more ideologue with an agenda to push.
