Introduction
See my book at: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/268458
and on all the major ebook sites...
The following is a temporal cosmology utilizing simple physical concepts. It is a theory of consciousness and cosmos, an attempt to show how the mass-point background of the universe, combined with incoming and outgoing waves of time, result in our thought processes while also producing the animated world we live in.
Our brain is a time wave diffraction grating that collates, compiles, then decodes the complex wave faces of time that converge down into then out through each of us from the entire background of the universe, resulting in patterns of thought. Poetically, the winds of time activate the chimes of our neurostuctures, giving each of us a unique personna while revealing the underlying complex structures of the space created by the faces of time.

As the faces of time converge down towards each and every zero "Planck singularity", they pass through a magnitude of size that results in electrons then neutrons then protons, depending upon the oscillating phase states of the Permittivity and Permeability of the resulting time-space plenum.
Thus, mass objects are semi-permanent interference patterns created by the current of time, maintaining their energetic existence only at a particular magnitude of size in the universal size spectrum.

Virtual mass particles exist everywhere in the invisible plenum of time, but are brought into our "durable present" only at those coincidental interference nodes allowed by the locations of all other masses in the universe. If this equilibrium is upset, time flux leaving each Planck singularity centering an atom will sometimes carry energy from that atom in the form of atomic and subatomic particles or photons, often at the speed of time. A particle accelerator demonstrates this process. The "invisible" virtual mass is the stuff of our dreams and thoughts.

Furthermore, the interference patterns between the incoming time flux and outgoing time flux of each zero point motivates the complex animations of our living world, due to a universal holographic imaging process, the same process that activates the brain to create thoughts.

Some salient features of this theory are:
  • Existence is a spectrum of processes, many of which are themselves spectrums.
  • The most fundamental process is Time. All lower processes are orchestrated by Time.
  • Time results in space, the incoming waves of time being separated by Planck's constant, "h", giving volume to time. Time waves can be visualized as an infinite sequence of virtual "balloons" collapsing inward from all edges of the universe, re-emerging and inflating outward from each Planck singularity of space. Each and every location of a Planck singularity, relative to the rest of the universe, is unique.
  • Spectrums are the evidence of the time process, with the size spectrum comprising the space volume expression of our universe, the electromagnetic spectrum the energy expression of our universe.
  • Time itself is comprised of only 2 elements: the derived quantities of permittivity and permeability and together with the motion of light, they comprise an orthogonal triad (PxP->).
  • The inverse square root of the orthogonal cross (x) product of PxP therefore equals the velocity of light.
  • Time asymptotically enters from our future, resulting in a bell-shaped duration of the present, fading off to the past in the shape of the natural logarithm. As a very rough visual metaphor, imagine the shape of light rays as they enter and exit a magnifying glass. Moreover, notice that, just as light ray images are inverted after passing through the focal point outside a lens, the time "sense" of a time wave is inverted upon exiting a Planck point. The future "flips" at that moment becoming the smeared-out present, fading to the past.
  • Creative, future events approaching upon the faces of time are inverted, and do not become realized until they cross over in our local present, thereby crossing from creation to entropy. It is similar to the way light is inverted before passing through the focal point of a magnifying glass.
  • Time waves are the source of quanta, that is, are quantized. They are the reason the electron appears to swirl around the atom as time collapses downward into the infinity of Planck singularities. It is similar to the corioles process as water swirls down a drain. The more the waves squeeze down into the "here and now" of the singularity, the more they become massive, as in protons and neutrons. The existence of these fundamental particles shifts from negative to neutral to positive as the (PxP) oscillates along each ones' timeline.
    Energy can then escape out the other side of the Planck singularity resulting in quanta of light or as electricity.
  • Time is the carrier wave that propagates electromagnetic energy.
  • Mass relationships are the result of the interference patterns between the incoming and outgoing faces of time, as incoming time implodes, is squeezed, then exudes from each "Zero Planck" point of its created space. Interference patterns result from these resonances, just as with musical triads that are coherent to one another, giving chord-like quantization.
  • The holographic nature of incoming time faces results in our animated world just as when lasers illuminate a photographic hologram, giving a 3-D image. Time exiting from each and every singularity carries new information outward. People, all anima, and all lower mass objects are focal points of this whole-universe holographic imaging process.
  • Holographic space is so incredibly dense with time information that it forces us downward upon the much less dense (created) interference patterns of mass. We feel gravitational inertia.
  • Two of the most noticeable and polar opposite processes are creation and entropy, yet creation and entropy are the same process. Creation is the result of new information entering upon fresh time waves, entropy the "erosion" of our durable present along a natural log decay as time waves exit as our past.
  • The most ubiquitous process unfolds as the electromagnetic spectrum. It is the way energy expresses. It is one of the methods of decay in the creation/entropy process.
    Dimensions are mathematical artifacts, invented to make sense of our world and to make Science, Engineering and Carpentry possible.
  • The size spectrum, from the infinitely small to the infinitely large is circular, with the smallest end comprising the largest end. Events along this spectrum are fractal in nature, each growing from those below, tying the entire spectrum together.
  • The soul of all life is one and the same as the entire process of the universe, and is therefore as permanent. Within the time plenum exists all mental prototypes.

TOTEM 1: Time -> )h)h)h)h) =Spacehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrum
The universe unfolds from TIME as a multitude of interacting processes that often express as spectrums. Many of the spectra are interlocking, dependent, and it is just possible that some fundamental constants of nature arise where spectrums cross and interact.
The singular most fundamental process from which the universe springs forth is TIME. There need not be countless complex dimensions, or any dimensions at all.
Space is a result of the time process wave faces of incoming and outgoing time being separated by Planck's constant, "h". Space is expressed as a three-dimensional plenum. It gives us something to move around within. Stated more simply: from all processes and spectra arise the phenomena we witness as our surrounding universe, and from which arise the multitude of mathematical artifacts we call “dimensions”.

TOTEM 2: Time SurfacesTime enters and exits our “present” as an infinity of dynamic, interacting balloon-like time surface waves, deflating downward and inward from the entire background of outer space, re-inflating and exuding out of each and every “zero Planck point” at the speed of light.
Moreover, the faces of time carry an image of the entire mass-point background of the sky. Embossed upon these surfaces is an infinite amount of information, comprising our entire incoming future. These wave fronts do not collapse into one another because they are separated by "h", Planck's constant. The surfaces of the incoming and outgoing time balloon waves are bell-shaped, with natural-log skirts. Consequently, our future begins to affect us long before it actually "arrives" at our "localized present", and our present dies off as the natural log erosion of entropy.

Time balloon surfaces arriving from our far future, from the edges of the universe, have little curvature due to the huge diameter of these virtual balloons. Time surfaces exiting our "local present" from all Planck singularities are extremely curved, resulting in interactions and forces such as gravitation, as they interact with incoming flat time surfaces. Ironically and paradoxically, "far future" arriving flat surfaces represent "far past" surfaces relative to those originating locations many billions of light years away.

The processes observed in microphysics are the interactions of the information-laden flat, incoming surfaces, with our outgoing, highly curved surfaces of our present. Perpendicular to the front edge of a time surface it is "isochronic", in that, our local present is the same as a local present elsewhere along the front edge of any particular wave. Time balloon wave surfaces are therefore equivalent to "wormholes". Observe two water wave fronts that are moving towards one another but are nearly parallel. The gap that closes between them moves at an incredible velocity, perpendicular to the motion of the wave fronts. Then think of a surfer on a water wave front and notice how velocity picks up when the surfer moves more perpendicular to a wave front rather than in front of it.

For a time wave balloon, consider a unit vector analogy: a single time arrow coming from the farthest reaches of the universe passes into our "local present", entering a Planck singularity, then leaving our present, continuing onward to our past. A dashed line can represent this incoming unit vector with the spaces within the line being the Planck constant “h”, as PxP oscillates from positive to negative. The length of each time line segment represents the thickness of a time surface and would be bell-shaped with both asymptotes trailing out to infinity. Thus, time waves would overlap but not touch each other, their natural log skirts trailing in and out of our present to infinity in the future and past from our durable present. This line would not always be straight, and in fact would become folded amongst all the other infinite converging “time lines” in an amalgam similar to the structure of steel wool.

A single time wave balloon surface would be comprised of a wave front of the flux of time arrows that are arriving from all possible single points of the universe, taking on the appearance of a breathing balloon at our “locality”. And again, “Time balloon” surfaces are separated by the Planck constant of “h”, resulting in the mathematical “dimensions” of space. The plenum of space thusly created is the same as the boiling, roiling zero-point fluctuations described in MTW.

TOTEM 3: The Causation Hologram
[Please understand Hologram Photography before proceeding] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holography http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holography#Holographic_data_storage
The incoming time information flux (the faces of time), when taken in total, comprises a causal structure, a causation hologram, the key elements being the electromagnetic constants of Permittivity and Permeability (PxP). Time surfaces, being separated by the Planck quantum "h" (in the E=hf Planck formula) result in space. It gives “volume” to the flow of time surfaces. It is the world we move around in. Without the separation of all incoming and outgoing time surfaces, the universe would be a black hole. Time surface separation (space) is the plenum in which process and spectra play out.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck

Moreover, the causal structure that is capable of reproducing our animated mass universe is in the form of a PxP causal time hologram. Activation and “playback” of this causal hologram is through the motions of all the masses of the universe that have been created through the interaction interference patterns between incoming and outgoing time surfaces. Masses act like the lasers used in holographic photography. The animations and life form processes we observe in everyday life result from masses moving around and illuminating the incoming time balloon holographic surfaces. [1]
The dynamics of mass forms (people, trees, etc.) are the result of the surrounding, incoming holographic causal time structure being "illuminated" by the motions of very large masses as they circulate around us. The far away, infinitely small point source stars, galaxies, black holes and dark matter images riding upon the incoming time surfaces are the causal information hologram. They provide us with our future events and thoughts. Again, the structural complexity of mass standing waves is caused by the interaction of the incoming time surfaces' holographic information structures with the static and dynamic mass forms that surround us. The greater, daily, higher order dynamics of everyday life result from the motion of nearby masses, like planets, and even people moving around us. These nearby masses (most likely) produce a greater effect on our inner thoughts for the same reason. Attempts to move outside the confines of the holographic playback result in the sensation of acceleration, whereas, inertia tends to center us in the perennial script, with predestination being the resulting option. So as a result, if you do nothing, yourself remaining inert, you are going to ride the inertial rails of the defined holographic program, perhaps to repeat the same mistakes or even the same good deeds. You do not have to follow the same life that is presented to you. Oddly, planetary motion and the laws of physics are themselves outputs of the holographic program. It seems to be a perfect feedback mechanism.

TOTEM 4: Spectrums
A spectrum comprises the integral (sum total) of a process. The universe is a complex of processes comprised of interacting interdependent and independent spectra. Three come to mind: Electromagnetic, Size, and Complexity. Yet a few more: temperature, consciousness, political, ethnic, pain, luminance, number, etc. etc. etc. etc. Some are closed at one end then open at the other, as with temperature, yet others are open at both ends. Some are circular. It is just possible that some of the constants of nature are crossing points of two or more different spectra. How about the gravitational constant, Planck's constant, the speed of light, the ubiquitous number Pi, possibly even prime numbers, and those that are not simply derived constants. [C] Brad G. Berman 09/15/2007
TOTEM 5: The Size Spectrum
The universe is a spectrum of size. Time surfaces move along this spectrum from the largest to the smallest back to the large. Most likely, this size spectrum is even circular such that the very smallest end (the very beginnings of a surface) eventually become the very largest end (the oldest ends of the infinitude of time surfaces) of this size spectrum, and at the ends, where they re-merge, is the creation point of space. The broader field of space around us is comprised of an infinity of "Planck-sized" points that separate time surfaces that have blue-shifted from the ends of the universe, passing through us, red-shifting back out towards the ends of time. The structure of time surfaces can again be explained thusly: imagine a balloon the size of the universe, with all the masses (stars, galaxies, dust, dark matter, black holes, etc.) collecting on the surface as this imaginary balloon deflates, at the velocity of time, right on down to zero size at our scale of life, yet retaining a virtual structure of the entire universe on its surface. Then while not stopping at zero, it continues on to expand right back outwards at the speed of time. Remember your first magnifying glass and your wondering how all that light could pass through itself at a focal point, where there was enough energy to start a small leaf burning? NOW, imagine this happening through each and every infinite number of the smallest points of the universe, and you will then have a mental picture of this on-going "process". It must take eons for a surface to reach us from the future, blue shifting (as if a raised tone in a train whistle), then spending a certain duration in our "now", then red shifting off to the end of time, only to be recycled into a new future. The sum total of this matrix comprises the information causal hologram.The formulas and functions that are useful in examining the electromagnetic spectrum are useful in examining this size spectrum. Frequency, amplitude, and phase modulation exist with the size spectrum just as in the electromagnetic spectrum. These modulations may actually be the internal dynamics of masses and on a large scale, the actions we see evolving around us at all times. In these cases, frequency modulation on a size spectrum would be equivalent to an object oscillating from future to past, around a center point of "now" as it makes its chronic journey, with the width of this modulation being the amount of "duration" that an object spends in the immediate present (the thickness of the skin of a time surface). Amplitude modulation, in this analogy, would be equivalent to a mass object gaining or losing mass during our present. Phase modulation would be a combination of both, depending upon the frequency of this activity.Time enters our "now" world, exuding from each "Planck point", carrying with it the forces of nature along with photons and electrons that are ripped free from nuclear structures. Masses are "standing waves" in this river of time. Thus, the future arrives after eons, "blue shifting" from the large incoming end of this scale, arriving in our local present at our scale of size, then "red shifting" off into our past again towards the large end of the spectrum. Each of us stands at a unique focal point of the entire universe, just as the hub of a wheel connects via the spokes to the outer rim. Our brain is connected to the entire universe in this fashion. We are unique individuals in a universal process that has and will always exist.

TOTEM 6: The Complexity Spectrum
From the mundane to the sublime, our near surroundings and our universe can be categorized on a spectrum of complexity. Much like the size spectrum, it can have its own modulations and overlaps. Perhaps at the lowest level of complexity one may find the quarks, at the apex, the causal structure. Perhaps in the middle lies the brain. What, then, is the quantum of complexity? For the human body is it DNA?
[C] Brad G. Berman 09/15/2007

TOTEM 7: Mass
The ongoing time process has the effect of producing standing waves in our “present” world, measured as masses of varying sizes, densities, types, and structures. Masses are standing wave interference patterns (trapped energy) provided by the interaction of the incoming holographic time surfaces with the existing masses of the present we now live in, and with all the other time surfaces as they converge down the size spectrum towards the magnitude of the Planck singularity. The holographic nature of the incoming surfaces serves to animate the physical and mental world surrounding us. The incoming hologram requires our dynamic mass world in order to function. It constitutes a prefect feedback loop. Our world is a living, moving holographic movie, expressing as our physical reality. Yet it is an amalgam of processes.

A simple analogy of interference: Obtain 2 small screens from your windows, say, 24"x24". Hold one screen up to the light and look through it. Nothing happens. Then hold the second screen in front of the first one, look through both, twisting one or both of them slowly in a circle. What you see is an analogue of interference patterns.

The difference between an incoming time surface and one that is exiting would be in the blue vs. red shift of that surface. The “blue” surface is providing our future, modifying our statistical bell-shaped present. A blue-shifted time surface gives “spin” to the inner workings of atoms, like a wind through the leaves of a tree. The outgoing surfaces carry away the additional information from interactions with our “present” as it red-shifts away, off to our past, in turn becoming somewhere/someone else’s future. Thus, energy results from time surface holographic interactions with our “local/present” masses.

Another simple analogy for mass: While fishing, I noticed some rippling standing waves in the water, caused by the current that was accelerating through a narrow spot between a couple of boulders. Farther downstream the same thing was occurring, caused by some underwater debris. I pitched a pebble into the middle of that ripple and as the resulting disturbance cleared itself, it created an independent wave that flowed downstream. While the invisible underwater structure was responsible for this set of standing waves, and the waves were mostly constant when left alone, it was peculiar how the whole system resembled atomic structures. Some places in the stream had just a couple of standing wavelets while others had dozens. Pieces could be broken away with the input of energy, yet the little systems returned to their stable state in a short time. We are a current of time.

In addition, the sum of all these time surfaces that constitute the causal structure result in the very, very dense energy solid: space, with gravity being a gradient that constitutes the continuum between the timespace and the very dilute standing waves of masses. Think of energy as being upon a density spectrum, from the most dense form represented as space (made of the sum of all time surfaces from past through future) to the most dilute (made of the electromagnetic spectrum and its affiliated standing wave masses). The difference in energy density between timespace and mass must be extremely large. The density of the timespace energy solid also determines the speed of light, just as the density of steel determines the speed of sound through an I-beam.

A simple analogy for gravity: While watching the bubbles rise up in a glass of my favorite brew, I noticed that the dense liquid media was forcing the less dense bubbles of carbon dioxide in a vertical direction, to the top of the mug. This process gave rise to a physical analog for the process of gravity. If inverted to simulate our universe, the extremely high ENERGY density of space became like the liquid refreshment, while masses, with their much lower energy densities, became the bubbles of CO2. Masses naturally would be pushed downward from the denser space on to the less dense domain of the storehouse of mass we call the earth.

Instead of feeling attracted or pulled by gravity, think of being squeezed down out of a denser medium to a much thinner media of mass.
[C] Brad G. Berman 08/16/1971
TOTEM 8: Mass=FrequencyCombining Planck’s relation (E=hf) with the Einstein mass-energy equation (E=mc^2), then realizing that c^2=1/(PxP) (that is, one over the permittivity of free space times the permeability of free space), we can arrive at a mass equivalence of electromagnetic frequency: m=hf(PxP). Interference patterns resulting from the interactions of P and P as they compress into the Planck singularities comprise the most elementary particles. Frequency represents units of action in time (cycles of PxP/second). At some critical frequency of action in time and critical proximity along the size spectrum, a point of energy achieves resonance with our "present", and becomes embedded, permanent, and ongoing. Photons lack the frequency to remain as a massive (trapped) object in our “local present”, and consequently fade off into our relative past. However, at some critical electromagnetic frequency (hence, scale of size), mass appears as it “syncs up” with our “present” and becomes objects, such as electrons, protons, neutrons, etc. Particle accelerators raise the energy (frequency), hence the mass, of an incoming time wave resulting in the creation of short-lived masses of various characteristics. These masses quickly disappear as they stream off into our "relative" past. Laying this concept out on a frequency spectrum, much as upon a radio dial, renders this concept more cogent. At the bottom of the radio dial, objects begin to appear in our world’s “present”, and at the top of this virtual radio dial, objects disappear, becoming dark matter. Virtual masses below the bottom of the radio dial can't quite achieve resonance and fade off into the past. This would include neutrinos and photons, among the many others in the sub-atomic pyramid. Masses that travel with us in our time, however, represent specific locations upon the size spectrum, thus becoming resonant universal focal points in the holographic imaging process. [C] Brad G. Berman, 10/06/2008

TOTEM 9: The Eternal MindUp to now we have discussed that the presence of our universe is due to the interference patterns of the most fundamental process, TIME. From this base structure arises all other processes, such as energy, mass, the creation of space, then the presence of form as it arises out of a holographic feedback mechanism of point masses interacting with the incoming and outgoing time wave structures. It is a hierarchy of complexity, possibly fractal in nature.
Eventually we arrive at the intricate complex structures of the brain, from which thoughts and feelings appear to originate. Yet it is quite possible that the brain is secondary to the processes of thought, that thoughts are artifacts of a more basic existence, that the brain is more a time process detection system, indeed a time diffraction grating. It would place consciousness and thoughts outside the brain as universal processes, indeed permanent, eternal, and holographic. It would make the existence of a physical body secondary to the existence of consciousness. It would make us observers of our persona, active participants in a universal, enduring process, all of which is a very real fundamental reality.
[C] Brad G. Berman 11/07/2008
TOTEM 10: Summary to date
The salient points of this simple cosmology: The universe is a hierarchy of processes, expressing themselves as a multitude of interlocking spectra. Spectrums are a result of the primary process, Time, separating everything out by the quantum distance of "h", creating the plenum of Space. As time comes down to and through us from far away, in a continuous flow of quantum-separated balloon-shaped surfaces, it carries upon each surface an image of the entire background of the existing universe, which just happens to be a holographic causal information integral of ALL time. Each “isochronic” time surface (area 4 PI t^2) is very thin yet bell-shaped in the direction it flows, the skirts of which are the natural logarithm, having asymptotes to +/- infinity. Thus, time becomes an overlapping continuum of waves. These overlapping time surfaces always interact, resulting in quantum “jumps”, yet as each bell-shaped surface remains separated by h, it prevents all of space from collapsing into one giant black hole. But then eventually, everything, including time itself, will recycle. This current of time spins the wheels of existing atomic structures. Masses are permanent standing waves resulting from interference patterns caused by the interaction of our present, outbound (red-shifting) time surfaces with the incoming (blue-shifted) holographic information surfaces. Masses variously appear as time gets squeezed down the size spectrum into the magnitude of the atomic realm, and interferences become possible. In addition, the incoming “future” surfaces, passing through the diffraction gratings of our brain, give us the processes of thought. The incoming surfaces also give us our dynamic grand surrounding reality as moving masses variously “illuminate” the causal hologram.

The following chapters are sidecar ideas.
TOTEM 11: Everything has already happened
Everything has already happened. The integral of time, from big bang up to our “local present”, is embedded within the incoming PxP background hologram. Were it not for the limiting properties of the velocity of light (time), we would never be able to witness the slow unfolding of our surrounding world. Our future has always existed in the information plenum. The underlying, dimensionless, PxP causal structure evolves as the material universe cycles from a beginning “big bang” phase, then creation of heavy matter, then eventual creation of black holes, to re-condensation of those black holes (as bubbles condense in a bath), then back to a total collapse and recycle, then again to the repetition of the “big bang”. Then, as spaces-between-time is created anew, energy expresses along the furrows of this structure, and matter once again reveals the laws of physics. The holographic, incoming star field will once again animate our “present”. Our brain neurons dance among these channels of PxP, the resulting thought patterns being not unlike the unfolding expressions seen in the growth of a snowflake. Ideas become our own, yet they are a part of the eternal, external existence. You have always been here. What is even more exciting is that, you can control and change your destiny, even though the inertia of the universe would lead you to believe otherwise. http://www.its.caltech.edu/~atomic/snowcrystals/

TOTEM 12: Information Microscope
Since the information of the entire universe is being brought to bear down onto each and every zero point in the universe, then you can create one immense telescope to detect and decode that energy. Just imagine the information density at each point in space around us. It is frustrating indeed that we don't yet know how to decode it! Perhaps, instead of using a telescope (with its huge light-gathering abilities, which brings to bear upon a small focal point the photons sent from some distant point of interest) you use an information microscope, a microscope that would do just the opposite function. It would gather and decode all the information as it re-escapes any particular zero point. Then you would have to be able to discriminate and resolve from among all that information, form a picture of perhaps some far distant planet surface. But suppose that the brain is just such a zero-point decoder/resolver of all that information that has been brought to bear upon us from the entire universe, filtering through the diffraction grating of our brain neurons. The first problem to overcome is that of believing in, then training our imaginations. Training requires sifting out the garbage, but not throwing out the good stuff. What is imagination, anyway? Is it just mind "stuff", or is genuine information being conveyed, yet being mis-interpreted? I believe that we have been educated away from the ability to tell the difference. Perhaps some of the finest science fiction is really closer to the realities that exist thousands of light years away. If we could just learn to detect near-future (incoming blue-shifted) and tachyonic events, then we could train the brain to detect far-off events and scenery.

TOTEM 13: E=mc^2, therefore, m=E(PxP)
As mentioned several times before, masses are standing-wave (trapped energy) interference patterns resulting from the flux of holographic PxP time surfaces passing through our present from all possible zero points and directions of space. Time surfaces continue to pass through these mass standing waves (much like the standing ripples in a creek) resulting in the inter-atomic activity of the nucleus. Occasionally an electron will break loose and travel within a surface of time (as electricity) or it is also possible for a high-energy cosmic ray to superluminally rip through many surfaces, picking up quanta of energy, and then to repeat until becoming too large to continue. We would then detect it as a high-energy particle rather than a photon of frequency, (just as a jet breaking the sound barrier can break glass windows). The nucleus can pick up energy from many other sources, release it into another surface as in a quantum jump, then these photons become embedded in a different outgoing surface. Some clues to the thickness of the skin of a time surface are in the bell-shaped curve and the natural log curve, implying a wider “present” in some places upon a time surface. There would be no exact "now", but a smearing-out, with past/present/future existing "now" to some degree, the width of the "now" bell peak varying according to the way in which time surfaces interact. And as the bell curve implies, the present sneaks up on us from one of the 3-sigma edges, and then hits a peak at a variable-width "now" at the bell peak, then sort of fades off into the sunset, yet never goes to zero on the other 3-sigma as the present "red-shifts" out of our field of view. The natural logarithmic curve most likely comprises the 3-sigma wings of the bell curve, never going to zero at the asymptotes. Yet another way of looking at it is: the bell-shaped curve is caused by masses that illuminate an incoming causal holographic structure, thereby creating the reality we observe as the hologram is being variously illuminated by the rotation and motion of the masses around us.

TOTEM 14: Memory
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory
Current theories of memory have to do with the brain’s capacity to chemically create feedback loops, with short and long-term storage, etc. But that is only a partial answer. It has more to do with the structure of time and how it interacts with the brain’s neurostructure. Time surfaces are "isochronic surfaces" with an area 4 PI t^2, the surface of a sphere of radius "time", and cover the entire universe at all angles and locations, from each and every event that has ever happened in the past and in times yet to come. It is sort of like tree rings becoming intermeshed to become like the structure of steel wool. Everything that has ever happened and will happen is presently available as a mesh of surfaces that are always available to the miraculous physiology of the brain’s neurostructure. Call the brain structure a diffraction grating, or whatever you wish, it nevertheless is capable of interacting with all things that have happened and (with training) will happen, simply because, all things have already happened. It is possible for local and remote simultaneous time apertures of greater than one Planck width to open up in more than one location, anywhere in the universe. Several surfaces could then have occasional past-present-future long duration, bell-shaped time widths that are one and the same, local and remote, allowing for several time sequences to be one and the same at very remote locations due to the time surfaces being isochronic.The existence of electric fields (an open field, and represented by the permittivity constant) and magnetic fields (a closed field, and represented by the permeability constant) seems to suggest this smeared-out duration of time does always exist. A long-duration present "here" being one and the same as some other long-duration present at a remote coordinate resembles a tunneling or a wormhole effect of sorts with a simultaneous "now" in both places. So, the next obvious question is: where and how do I find, then observe one of these "long-duration" time slots so I can travel to far reaches of the universe, or even travel a few miles away? Perhaps the brain is such a time machine. Anyone who grew up using a "sampling oscilloscope" during the 1960s will remember that, in order to slow something way down so that you can observe it, you had to take lots of tiny samples at regular intervals (on a repeating waveform) then the scope would assemble all the samples together to make a single waveform that resembles the one you are sampling. That is precisely what the brain is doing all the time. Because of the very massive parallelism of the neuron structure of the brain, it is capable of grabbing billions of simultaneous samples and then bringing them to bear at some focal point within the cortex. It doesn't matter how slow the nerve impulses travel through the axons as long as millions of neurons are activated simultaneously. You can essentially assemble a time sequence window at very high speeds, past-present-future, just as if you were slowing time down to a crawl, thereby peering into one of those time duration focal points previously mentioned. A much simpler way to explain it all is by thinking of the size of a telescope mirror or telescope diffraction grating, and thinking of the gathering power. The larger the "mental neuron mirror", then the more of the small time slices that can be collected in a very small time period, thereby smearing time out into a very large beam width, enabling you to see much farther into the future or distance. Remember the time surfaces that exude from each Planck point, growing outward to form our bell-curve present and natural log “past”? Well, those surfaces don’t just disappear off into the sunset. They are all still right here, overlapping one another as a plenum of the integral of all time. Then remember how the neurostructure is malleable by chemical as well as time-like events. In this way, memory is both local and universal. You cannot escape it any more than you can change the past. But you can modify your future.

TOTEM 15: Each brain is at a unique focal point of the universe
Our neurons take part in the PxP holographic causal structure, which is responsible for the dynamic world output we observe. Planetary, and all other point-source masses, moving relative to us, play out our reality by activating the structure of the hologram. Each of us moves around at a unique focal point of the entire universe. As time takes its eons-long journey from without, it penetrates directly through us, coming from the very large end of the size spectrum in the shape of the entire star field background of the universe, passing unnoticed through our brain, “enabling” the firing of certain neurons over the firing of others, resulting in a coordinated cascade of mental energy we call a thought. This process has more meaning in the higher cortical areas from where ideas seem to emanate. Importantly, the firing of neurons can often occur in sequences that can have “timing” differences of mere picoseconds, since the brain is a massively parallel assemblage of connections. The stars and other masses of the universe are literally the catalysts of our ideas. The brain thus compiles the “timing” output from the convergence of time as it passes through us from the large, on its journey to the very small. The question to be answered is: how can something as small as a quanta actually interact and affect the neuron structures of our brain? Perhaps it is due to the fact that the microstructure of our neurons exists within the flow of the size spectrum, as the background structure of the universe converges inward along the size spectrum, eventually reaching the size of "interaction" with our neurons at the molecular level.

TOTEM 16: Mental Chronosynchronicity
It is astonishing that we are all not in constant "mental" contact. Unfortunately, because of the required built-in filtration system within the brain, and considering that 99.99% of what enters the senses is "junk", it is not surprising that we only get occasional “glimpses” of one another’s thoughts. Then, considering that the low frequency Beta waves are there to quench our brain's neurons from "going nuclear", (spontaneously firing off all at once) it can be seen that inter-communication is difficult and sporadic at best, as it is always being stifled. AND, when, in a laboratory, attempts to measure any phenomena result in very few statistically sound results, one wonders if there is any such thing as ESP. Perhaps the phenomena many of us have experienced is misnamed. Perhaps ESP should be named Chronosynchronicity.Perhaps ESP is a synchronous time phenomena that affects the brains of two or more people during an open time duration window. On rare occasions, a high-speed "daydream" of an idea can wedge its way through all the mental noise, then we experience a one-on-one with, usually, a loved one, or a very familiar co-being. This "linking" is accomplished between two or more people who are familiar with one another because they have experiences in common. The massive parallelism of the neuron structure allows for a simultaneous time sequence in one brain and others, forming a "feeling" or picture at an instant, in each. Animals already use this phenomena as part of their survival strategy."Deja Vu" may be the same phenomena, but with only a single person experiencing an incoming, blue-shifted, open time duration window comprised of things occurring a few seconds in the future. Furthermore, perhaps what we have always been calling ESP is actually a simultaneous "Deja Vu" between two or more people who are familiar with one another.

TOTEM 17: Synaptic sync
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synapse
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field-programmable_gate_array
Now that you have read all about the mediation of the transmission of electrical impulses across the synaptic junction in the brain, and have learned how the synapse and its support structures are similar to the logic gates within the microprocessor of your computer, you can begin to sense that any outside "time-like" event that can intervene in the synaptic process is just as capable of controlling synaptic action as are the chemical neurotransmitters. Our "reality" is constantly being modified through the use of chemicals (alcohol, antidepressants, depressants, tranks, cranks, sensory inputs, and of course, the action of the universal focal point time balloons). Our brain is a chemical computer that is malleable through a multitude of inside and outside influences. Influences via the incoming, blue-shifted time surfaces are of extreme interest, as are those caused during "long duration isochronic synchronous time openings". The point is to learn to discriminate between internal biological synaptic mediation vs. external "timing" and "phase modulation" mediation of our summation of thought patterns. By learning the difference, you will open up a new external reality that you have only been just touching upon in your daily lives. Concentrate on intuitions, fast thoughts, controlled day dreams, high-speed mirror image daydreams, and any other tools that you may stumble upon.

TOTEM 18: The Future
Things to happen in the next few moments are pretty much already fixed. Events begin forming at various times in the future. It would take a lot of effort to break events away from their standard inertial destiny. Otherwise, the universe would be totally chaotic and lack all meaning. Imagine how much energy is required to break apart the atomic nucleus. And the smaller the subatomic particle to be broken out, the higher the energy required (farther into the future). And of course, the shorter time it will live in our present. To modify the world time surfaces might be as difficult as modifying the entire universe, or it might be as easy as "seeing" an ultra fast mental picture of a future event. You would need to start your detection effort way out on the incoming (natural logarithm) wing of the bell-shaped time duration curve. Or, if an event is impending, it may require immediate intuition. Because the events we are now witnessing began forming various times ago, it is going to take a special trick to alter present outcomes. It is possible to mentally "live" a distance in time from now. It could be exhilarating if you could live in a perpetual deja-vu. You must amplify upon the acts you do to achieve perpetual d-v. Remember how you arrived at d-v thoughts. It is the things that "pop" into your mind that are the real ones to heed. Try to work on perpetual "fast popping" ideas or mental pictures or learn to control your daydreaming.Here’s one clue: your brain is a huge time collator. It grabs billions of things at the sub-atomic level, simultaneously by the way, and then continuously focuses them down to mental pictures or even just into the verbal or auditory sections of the brain. It operates on the level of the causal structure and the infinitude of time surfaces. If you can get your hands on a copy of "Gravitation" [MTW], you can page through to the areas dealing with the micro structure of space.

TOTEM 19: Gravity
The following is a variation on the Le Sage gravitation theory, scoffed at in the 18th century, yet not completely disproven. Using "incoming waves of time" instead of his "corpuscles" can give new "light" to the "shading" theory of gravitation. Give it a read:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Sage%27s_theory_of_gravitation

It herein follows: Gravitational forces occur whenever and wherever the uniform flow of time surfaces are interrupted, just as when light is slowed through a prism, causing it to reveal its spectral nature. After all, light is one of the features riding upon the surface of a time balloon.
Case 1: imagine yourself floating in space, dozens of light years from any other massive object. In this unique case, time surfaces are pushing you from all possible directions holding you in an inertial lock-hold. The time/energy/light density is uniform.
Case 2: a massive object floats by, perhaps the size of earth’s moon, then for that area blocked by the object, incoming time is slowed, it arrives at you out of phase from all other “isochronic” time surfaces, and incoming time becomes as a balloon with a dent in it, like a finger pushing in on those arriving balloons, and for that portion of your sky, time arrives just a bit late. Why then would you be pulled (actually pushed) towards that massive object? Why would regularly moving time from behind you push you towards an object that has retarded time (including the light and energy riding upon their time surfaces)? Check with F=ma. If time is retarded, F becomes larger in one or the other direction due to the “a”. The denominator has a t^2.
Case 3: consider a black hole wandering by, with its total masking of all the time trying to arrive from behind it. You are pushed with all the force of the universe from behind you, pushing you towards this object. You no longer have any uniform inertia to hold you in your former static location.
Case 4: Last but not trivial, consider the elevator or the spinning fish weight on the string, where the forces are being caused by a displacement of the time uniformity by a change in direction from stasis, as in Mach's principle. Or consider being on a rocket or in an automobile wherein the acceleration is creating a “time vacuum” behind you. It is all under the name gravity. It is the disruption (or masking) of the uniform flow of time.

This opens the possibility for a gravitational telescope that is sensitive to the bumps and holes presented to our earth's surface as the sky is revealed during the rotation of the earth. Unlike an optical telescope, a g-scope would allow for huge powers of magnification by placing it under the earth's surface, then providing a very small aperture that would scan the sky at the rate that the earth rotates. Call it a "Mach telescope".
