Size and time are synonymous. Frequency and size are
the same
phenomenon.

Newton said that time was a very specific phenomenon,
assuming that there
was a specific and finite time that permeated Universe
and that everything observable in
Universe was occurring at the same time. It was Einstein
who discerned that time might be
relative to the individual observer. A majority of academic
people and the vast majority of
nonscientists are still thinking in terms of the classical
Newtonian scientific conceptioning
of "instant Universe." While light's speed of approximately
700 million miles per hour is
very fast in relation to automobiles, it is very slow
in relation to the "no time at all" of
society's obsolete instant-Universe thinking. It was
part of the classical scientist's concept
of instant Universe that Universe is a system in which
all parts affect one another
simultaneously in varying degrees. Contemporary science
as yet assumes that all local
systems in physical Universe are instantly and simultaneously
affecting one another in
widely ranging degrees of influence. (And the degrees
of influence are governed by
relative proximity.) Whereas radiation, i.e., entropy,
casts shadows and gravity, syntropy,
does not; and whereas the tensional integrity of Universe
and all its substructurings is
continuous and omniembracing__while compression is islanded
and discontinuous__it may
also be that while light and radiation has a velocity,
gravity is timeless and eternally
instant. (See Secs. 231.01,
251.05,
541 and
1052.)

|
529.05
Generalized principles are often called constants
by the semantics of
scientific specialization, whose viewpoint is myopic.
Constancy is a time concept. Time is
relative and cyclically terminal. Time is energetic,
physical, and ever finitely
evolving__which is the opposite of "constant."
|
|

529.06
Minimal consciousness evokes a nonsimultaneous sequence,
ergo time. Time
is not the fourth dimension and should not be so identified.
Time is only a relative
observation, a set of local sequences of experience
afterimage formulation lags of the
brain. Time is not a function of space. We can discuss
time as if there were no time. It
exists in weightless, metaphysical conceptuality. There
is a metaphysical timeless time, just
as there is a difference between physical tetrahedron
and metaphysically conceptual but
weightless, substanceless tetrahedron. Instantaneity
would eliminate otherness, time, and
self-and-other-awareness. Instantaneity and eternity
are both timeless: they are the same.
|

|
529.07
The concept of being alive may be inherent only in
the eternal principle of
differentiability, and of a theoretical number system,
and of complexes of different
numbers. Seeming consciousness and life may well be
inherent only in mind-conceivable
theories of differentiations. To perceive of "truth"
involves the concept of "nontruth,"
ergo, of differentiation. An intellectual integrity
of Universe evokes its own theoretical
evolvement of a Universe of ever-multiplying problems
and pure-principles solutions and
regeneration of multiplying problem-solving. (See Secs.
217.03 and
1005.50.)

529.08
The measuring act always involves time increments
of our totally available
time of life and may be conceived of only in respect
to local events in nonsimultaneous
Universe, there being no overall largest size to be
referred to. Einstein was able to show
that every individual's every-time employed yardstick
of time (that is, the cyclic increment
of imaginary reference) is always unique and different
from every other's, a difference that
amplifies greatly as we enter into astronomical observing
by individual instruments, whose
progressively designed reduction of tolerated error
is always unique and only calculable
relative to each experience.
|
|
|
529.09
It is a consequence of the phenomenon time and a consequence
of the
phenomena we call afterimage, or thinking, or reconsideration,
which has inherent lags in
the time rates of recallability of the various special-cases
and types of experiences. So the
very consequence of awareness is to impose the phenomenon
time upon eternal, timeless
Universe.
|
|
|
529.10
It is one of the strange facts of experience that
when we try to think into the
future, our thoughts jump backward. It may well be that
nature has some fundamental
metaphysical law by which opening up what we call the
future also opens up the past in
equal degree. The metaphysical law corresponds to the
physical law of engineering that
"every action has an equal and opposite reaction. "
(See Sec. 1031.16.)
|
|
|
529.11
The future is not linear. Time is wavilinear. Experience
is expansive,
omnidirectionally including and refining the future.
It probably consists of omnidirectional
wave propagations. We seem to be talking about a greater
range of known cycling. It is
both a subjective "now" and an objective "now"; a forward-looking
now and a backward-
looking now which combine synergetically as one complete
"now." Because every action
has both a reaction and a resultant, every now must
have both a fading past and a dawning
future.

No-Time-at-All
|
|
|
529.201
Intellect is top speed, which is instantaneous, being
vastly faster than the
speed of light and all radiation. Radiation's 700 million
miles an hour is very slow in
comparison to 700 million miles a minute and infinitely
slower than 700 million miles in
no-time-at-all__which is the rate at which intellect
operates, being able to jump instantly
to consideration of stars that are operating millions
of years ago and thousands of light-
years away.
|
|
|
529.21
The top speed of radiation is simply the minimum operational
lag before
making the cosmic leap to the eternal no-speed, where
the instantaneity spontaneous to a
child's conceptioning is normal and eternal. Not that
it is ever lost. None of the
differentiation of the generalized principles is lost.
Many principles as yet undiscovered are
nonetheless operative. Understanding is exquisitely
total. Understanding includes a large
increment of intuition to account for the as-yet-undiscovered
but nonetheless operative
generalized principles.
(See Sec. 1056.03.)

Motion is not relative to standing still. Motion is
relative to eternity, which
is no-time-at-all. No-time-at-all is inherent in the
generalized principles which, to be valid,
must have no exceptions and be eternal, thus eternally
true. The beginning of awareness,
of intellect, is otherness. The whole complex of different
and nonintercontradictory, all-
interaccommodative, generalized principles is eternal.
Complexity is eternal. The principle
of mass interattraction of complex otherness is eternal
and relates all the eternal
complexity to our eternal system interfunctionings.

|
529.23
Newton's norm, as disclosed in his first phrase of
his first law of motion, was
"at rest." Newton's stars were "fixed." The planets
and the moons of the planets, as well
as comets, were in motion because hurled into motion
by explosion from "fixed" stars.
|
|
|
529.24
Einstein's philosophy did not hold the speed of radiation
unfettered in vacuo
to be "very fast." It assumed this speed to be normal,
and all other lesser speeds manifest
in physical Universe to be occasioned by local interferences,
shunting independent
phenomena into local circuit repatternings.

Eternal Instantaneity
|
|
|
529.301
We have a new norm. The phenomenon lag is simply due
to the limited
mechanism of the brain; we have to wait for the afterimage
to be realized.
|
|
|
529.31
The norm of Einstein is absolute speed instead of
"at rest" . . . what we
called instantaneous in our innocence of yesterday.
We get to lesser and lesser lags, and
we then approach eternal instantaneity__no lag at all.
We have now learned, however,
from our generalizations of the great complexity of
the interactions of principles, that as
we are disembarrassed of our local exclusively physical
chemistry, our local information-
sensing devices, what will be realized is an eternal
and instantaneous awareness of all the
potentials that ever existed. All the great metaphysical
integrity of the individual, which is
potential in the complex of interactions of the generalized
principles, will always and only
coexist eternally. I am saying that the arrival rate
of intellect vs. the top-speed of radiation
manifests the minimum lag short of no lag at all, i.e.,
"eternal."
|
|
|
529.32
Intuition derives from the approximate instantaneity
of intellect, which is
much faster than any physical phenomenon like the brain
lags. Intuition is the absolute-
velocity insistence of the intellect upon the laggingly
reflexed brain to call its attention to
significance of various special-case, brain-registered,
experience relationships. Intuition is
intellect coming instantly in at highest speed into
dominance over lower-speed, lagging
brain reflexing.
|
|
|
529.33
Eternity is simply highest speeds: not "at rest,"
because it gets there in no-
time-at-all: Complete intellection + Otherness + No-time-at-all.
|
|
|
529.34
Differentiation of functions is inherently eternal
and implicit to the plurality
of generalized principles, which are everywhere nonredundant,
redundancy being a
temporal consequence of brain-lagged dullness of comprehension
and ignorance.

Now Hourglass
The macro-microcosm of minimum frequency of omnidirectional
self-
interference restraints, whose greatest degrees of outward expan- sion occur when the last of the least-frequent, self-interfering cycles is completed (and cycles, being geodesic great circles, must always interfere with one another twice in each wave- and-frequency cycle, which twiceness imposes eternally regenerative cosmic resonance with inherent quanta-, wave-, frequency-, time, interference-, mass-, and effort-aspects), in exquisite speed-of-light, 700- million-miles-per-hour, self-interfering radia- tion patterns energetically self-tying into concentric knots of relative mass in a mathematically idealized variety of symmetrical-asymmetrical atomic assemblages, whose local sub- visibly resolvable micro- orbiting induces the su- perficially deceptive, motionless thingness of mini-micro- microcosm of NOW which progres- sive, experience- won, knowledge mul- tiplies by progressive, intel- lectually contrived, instrumen- tally implemented, exploratory subdi- viding into microscopically ever-greater speeds of transformation through insect-phase magnitudes dividing into the micro-organisms phase, and then dividing progressively into molecular and atomic phases; then phasing into radioactivity at 700- million-miles-per-hour, expanding once more into the micro- eternity of no-time into the macrocosm and repeat, ad infinitum.... |

Thought discovers that we divide Universe into an
"outwardness and
inwardness," so thinking is the first subdivision of
Universe, because Universe, we
discovered, was finite. Thinking is a nonsimultaneously
recallable aggregate of inherently
finite experiences and finite experience furniture__such
as photons of light. One of the
most important observations about our thought is the
discovery that experiences are
nonsimultaneous. Nonsimultaneity is a fundamental characteristic,
and if experiences are
nonsimultaneous, you cannot have simultaneous reconsideration.
|
|
|
530.02
All the words of all the vocabularies could be said
to represent all the
formalized attempts of men to communicate all their
experiences. So we could set out to
examine all the dictionaries of the world. We can pick
up any one dictionary and discover
that it is a nice finite package. We can open one page,
but we cannot look at all the words
at once. If we cannot look at all the words even on
one page, we certainly cannot look at
all the words of a whole dictionary at once. It does
not make the dictionary infinite
because we cannot look at all the words at once or think
about all the words at once. The
inability to think about everything at once does not
mean that experience or consideration
of experience is infinite. It is perplexing that one
of the most persistent contemplations of
human beings has been predicated on a static concept
of Universe, the kind of Universe
that went out with classical Newtonian mechanics. We
cannot think of Universe as a fixed,
static picture, which we try to do when people ask where
the outwardness of Universe
ends. Humans try to get a finite unit package. We have
a monological propensity for the
thing, the key, the building block of Universe. What
we discover here is that it is not
possible to think about all Universe at once. It is
nonsimultaneously conceptual. This in no
way mitigates against its finiteness and thinkableness.

The parents tell the child he cannot have both the
Sun and the Moon in the
picture at the same time. The child says that you can.
The child has the ability to
coordinate nonsimultaneity. The parents have lost the
ability to coordinate
nonsimultaneity. One of our great limitations is our
tendency to look only at the static
picture, the one confrontation. We want one-picture
answers; we want key pictures. But
we are now discovering that they are not available.
|
|
|
530.04
We can think about all the experiences progressively
and successively. And
we can coordinate our thoughts about our experiences.
Our very ability to think is such a
propensity for the coordination of the reconsiderations
of relationships. We do not have to
be simultaneous to be interconnected. We can telephone
across the international date line
from Sunday back to Saturday.
|
|
|
530.05
We have had a tendency in our thinking to say that
what is finite is statically
conceptual as a one-unit glimpse, so we have been seemingly
frustrated in trying to
understand Universe, which is an omnidirectional experience,
and so we feel there ought
to be an outwardness of this sphere. That is a static
concept. We are not dealing with such
a sphere at all, because we have all these nonsimultaneous
reports, and all we have is the
interconnectedness of the nonsimultaneity. One of Einstein's
most intellectual discoveries
was this nonsimultaneity, which he apparently could
have come upon by virtue of his
experience in examining the thoughts of inventors and
their patent claims regarding
timekeeping devices, watches, and clocks.
|
|
|
530.06
The speed-of-light measurements plus Planck's quantum
mechanics and
Einstein's relativity showed that Universe is an aggregate
of nonsimultaneous events.
Their experiments showed that as each of the nonsimultaneous
events lost their energy,
they lost it to newly occurring events. Thus energy
always became 100 percent accounted
for.

All Universe is in continual transformation. The geology
of our Spaceship
Earth makes it very clear how very severe have been
the great transformations of history.
The movement of topsoils around the surface of the Earth
is very new, geologically
speaking. As Einstein interpreted the speed-of-light
information and the observation of the
Brownian movement of the constant motion in water, he
then posited a Universe in which
we knew that light takes eight minutes to get to us
from Sun and two and a half years to
get to us from the nearest star; astronomical information
shows that some of the stars we
are looking at are live shows coming in from 100 years
ago, others from 1,000 years ago,
while the light from some of the stars we are looking
at started on its way over a million
years ago. With that kind of information, Einstein had
to say physical Universe is quite
obviously an aggregate of nonsimultaneous and only partially
overlapping transformation
events.

Nonsimultaneity of Scenario Universe
|
|
|
530.11
Any point can tune in any other point in Universe
(Sec. 960.08). Between
any two points in Universe there is a tetrahedral connection
(see Sec. 961.30). Thus
systematic connection of two points results in the interconnecting
of four points. But none
of the four event points of the tetrahedron are simultaneous.
They are all overlappingly co-
occurrent, each with different beginnings and endings.
All of the atoms are independently
introduced and terminaled; many are in gear__that is,
synchronously tuned__but many are
also way out of gear, untuned, or "noisy."
|
|
|
530.12
Nouns can co-occur at the same time, but verbs cannot.
Events can never be
omnicongruently simultaneous, which would mean having
all the component four events'
beginnings and endings always simultaneous. Events occur.
Occur is a time word. The
overlappingness of Scenario Universe
(see Sec. 320)
makes events appear simultaneous
when they are not. Events are only overlappingly co-occurrent
but never
omnisimultaneous.
|
|
|
530.13
All the four unique electromagnetic frequencies of
the 92 chemical elements
are uniquely different, yet many are intersynchronizable
in overlapping occurring alloys,
whose unique sets of interattractive interrelationships
produce the synergetically unique
behaviors of those specific alloys.
