Thyme after time (image by Cyndi L)


   i have been struggling with the concept of time (real link) and have a new theory on how to measure.  This Zone website covers a lot of ground, but it is dispersed into many places. Matter and energy have a third orthogonal axis, at right angles, which i call spirit : as McLean suggests in American Pie - so the bible tells us so.  Current science sets that level at zero.  Rock and Roll serves as the basis of new theology and pop culture is, well, it's our set of trivia expressed as a common language.
   The level of information has suddenly risen in cognitive dissonance: i went into a meditation that found a new skew, which i have to tease out from the spaghetti that i call the muddle in the middle.  Sometimes it leads me to very odd places - like this morning.  Please read this article (real link). 

   Somewhere - over the rainbow, way up high : there's a land that i heard of once, in a lullaby.  Our universe offers us opportunities to explore - 60 billion has now morphed into 22 trillion : big numbers run into each other and become bigger numbers at a different harmonic than little numbers.  My field, chemistry, concerns single atoms in small whole number ratios.  A quantum is one.  Another quantum is still one.  A quantum is the smallest unit.  We cannot break one down and still be in quantum land.
   When i was a real little kid, i loved the high dive - it was my way of going off the deep end.  At two and three i had no fear - i just launched myself in such a way that i could loop and twist and i would always hit the water smooth.  Later on as a bigger little kid, somebody created a fear in my mind that paralyzed my ability to grok heights.  Some introduced trauma and i wasn't going to get near that board again.  My mind-set of can do anything was limited to think i can and we all realize that thinking is what gets us into trouble.
   So that article has me thinking about how we receive our information - the order of information is as significant as what is told.  If parts are left out or hidden, such that the whole in incongruent and doesn't make sense, we accept what we have and fill in the space with pablum - or leave it blank.  Sometimes, it is better to hold two distant thoughts rather than reconcile down to a single reality.  What we think is, is not all together there anyway, but we seem to be getting closer to truth.  Relative or absolute?
   Nancy, bless you again for sending me the keys before i had the vehicle.  Your subtle reminder - THYME in CAPS - is the jolt of who we are - we live simultaneously on many planes of existence.  We no longer speak common language - English is a melting pot.  Words have many meanings, each of which requires context.  The words we use when taken from that context mean different things - to tease is often thought of as being nasty - but it is normal childsplay for almost every kid.
   Eldest children in Merika (and likely elsewhere too) have a different learning experience that drafts childhood as an interface rather than a separate place.  Kids learn from kids - and if we take our cues from imagination, we can pretend that real is unreal and work within those constraints.  But an oldest child constantly takes the cues from the parents, the only humans it knows and the pets - who can speak baby language intuitively.  Domestication takes this sense away and the force sets a trauma than an eldest carries as morality - they take on a shadow of yagottadothis - partly a derivative of yeahknow.
   YeahKnow is not my idea, but i really like the concept.  Noah related the conflict of yeahknow to me to point out how sometimes it is not worth attempting to logically resolve an issue, because both sides have irrefutable arguments that require merging incompatible facts.  I happen to have more training and can see parallels in fractals - Syndex symmetry is different from Group Theory symmetry - they map to each other.  As the music says - I can see clearly now, the rain is gone ...
   Pop trivia based on games - each game has it's rules, different from the next.  Imagine a counting system that goes love, fifteen, thirty, forty, maybe deuce, advantage, game, set, match.  Oh - you know that one.  How in the world did they come up with that?  Venus.  The symbolism is all over the place for an intelligent universe - so fractals are really embedded and one covers the ground of 1.61 as a quantum jump.  Since quantum is one, then we start with a whole lot of wiggle room and get narrowed down to fit the current model.  My favorite current model is the material girl Madonna - a case in point.  Cherish it, it can change tomorrow.

Interesting. I think the first thing to do is to simply recognize time for what it is -- the abritrary of a measure of a rate of change. (or, if you want, Delta-n) We measure time by the rates of chemical change in our own bodies, or the passage of the Earth around the Sun. There's nothing magical in it.

What is far more interesting is the notion of timespace. Is timespace itself a "fabric" which allows existence in the first place, or is it a fiction?

perhaps time functions as an inter-dimensional GPS for scoping experience for the universal being. I see that what is is rearely whay it seems to be, but certain tricks like follow the money (currency) make sense in many fractal worlds. JHK should be very interesting tomorrow morning. I sometimes wonder if he creates a world to sell his books, but then every time i doubt, the next week another nail is thumped on the head.
