Thoughts on time and space

What if Albert Einstein didn't apply the basic concept of relativity
to time?

The notion of time as a dimension is based on the irreversibility of
events, which creates our sense of past, present and future. The
assumption is that there is no corresponding opposite direction to
provide symmetry.

A very simple and basic point has been overlooked here; While the
arrow of time for the observer proceeds from past events to future
ones, the arrow of time for these circumstances proceeds from being in
the future, to being in the past. Content and context go in opposite
directions. To the hands of the clock, it is the face going
counterclockwise.

Time isn't a dimension because the frame of reference does not
constitute an absolute against which the point of reference transcribes
another dimension. It is a process in which the point and frame move
relative to their respective influence on one another.

Reality consists of energy recording information. As the amount of
energy remains the same, old information is erased as new is recorded.
This information is a product of relationships of the manifest energy.
As there is no absolute frame, any action is balanced by an "equal and
opposite" reaction. Explicit reality is the energy. Time is only a
function of the information. "Past" and "future" do not exist because
the energy to manifest them is currently tied up in the present. Time
travel would require speeding up or reversing the entire universe.

A clock which would represent this process would have no face, but
innumerable hands going both directions, at various speeds. The sum of
this motion would be zero. Isolating any particular hand as a point of
reference would leave the remaining hands with a net motion in the
opposite direction. As we are part of that frame of reference, we only
see the particular hand move.

The unit of time goes from beginning to end, but the process of time
is going toward the beginning of the next, leaving the old. A day is
measured by the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, but the
reality is the earth is rotating the other direction. As our day ends,
others are dawning.

Think of a factory; The product moves from initiation to completion,
but the production line faces the other way, with its mouth consuming
raw materials and finished product being expelled. Life is the same.
Our lives are units of time going from beginning to end, while the
process of living goes on to the next generation, shedding the old like
dead skin.

The mind is a form of factory and the products are individual
thoughts. Our senses continually take in information and out of this,
we construct coherent conceptual units. Meanwhile the mind continues to
absorb fresh information and as the particular thought matures, it
factors in less of this additional information. At some point a new
thought has taken shape and displaced the previous thought.

This relationship of the process and the unit is one of perspective. A
unit at one level is a process at another and vice versa.

With the assumption that entropy constitutes an irreversible direction
of time, it should be noted that this applies to a closed set. Such a
closed set is a form of unit. As such it does go from beginning to end,
but the larger process is constantly creating new such sets. Much like
any living organism will accumulate metabolic junk and deteriorated DNA
until it dies, but the matter of which it consists will be recycled by
the environment and the larger species will carry on within the context
of an eternal present. remember that in the beginning, it was an open
set, or it never would have formed in the first place.

Time is not so much a projection out from the present event, as it is
a coming together of factors to define what is present. The past is the
influences which defined current order and the future is the sources of
energy which will motivate that order. When the order of the past is an
open set, it absorbs fresh energy, defining it, so the future is a
continuation of the past. When the order is a closed set, the energy
accumulates in open spaces and the future becomes a reaction to the
past. Evolution and revolution.

One of my earlier influences in putting this together was Complexity
Theory, which is based on the same relationship of order and chaos,
except that I replace chaos with energy. The only real difference being
they hadn't associated the relationship of this top down order and
bottom up growth with a description of time. Think about it; The top
down hierarchical order is what we see as evidence of the past. It is
codifying the chaos of this unstructured energy, while the energy/chaos
is constantly building up and breaking down the order, depending on
circumstance.

(As an aside, I also think this relationship was the basis of the
Christian concept of a triune deity; Father as order/past, son as
complex present and holy ghost as fathomless future. Of course the
problem with monotheism is the assumption the absolute is apex, when it
is basis, so that the spiritual absolute would be the essence of being
out of which we rise and to which we fall, rather than a point of
reference from which we fell and seek to return. Consciousness and
intelligence are not synonymous. Good and bad are binary code for the
biological computer. Whole other subject though.....)

Time is a tensor method of measuring motion. Temperature is a scalar
method of measuring motion. Consider statistical measures of the
economy as a form of temperature reading, a general level of activity
against a prevailing scale. Now if we were to follow an individual
through the larger economy, or the activity of a particular atom in a
fluid, it would be a tensor measure. The reason this form of
measurement matters so much to us is that we are that individual.
