The Logarithmic Nature of Time: From the Start of Life to Symbolizing Humanity

The two works collated here encompass a vast time from the start of life until the dawn to what we refer to as "civilization." In the first volume, a consistent logarithmic pulsing was found in biological evolution from life's beginning to the first humans. The evidence for these first ten nodes was primarily fossils or other life signatures in a given setting. The second volume continues the logarithmic pattering with human evolution even after the change is primarily occurring in the symbolic domain. Here, the evidence increasingly becomes geometric objects fashioned by humans, which became tools and symbols, as well as red ochre used to decorate and signify a charged object for ritual use.

          Basically, what we mean by logarithmic patterning is that we are halving the units from the past to the future, such as 4 Gyr to 2 Gyr to 1 Gyr (billions of years) then moving on to 500 Myr, 250 Myr and on… (millions of years.) Here, a base two with exponents were used to half units and identify more refined points.

            What we consistently found was evidence for increasingly complexity, an acceleration of events logarithmically, such that Major Change kept happening in less time, or more precisely half the time as the previous change. That means that change occurred in pulsed logarithmic intervals.

            I have attempted to why this happens, but that is better left for another work. For now, we leave this task largely to readers to wonder about and make their own theories. We will however take on the humble and diligent task of assembling the evidence and ordering it on a logarithmic scale. Such as a scale can be updated, and I have begun some of that process. What I found was that new evidence surfacing was increasingly confirming of the logarithmic structuring outlined here.

            We will let you judge yourself as to how sufficient the evidence is and  what that might say about the universe. It is an exciting process, and one which can only be "in process," to be continually updated and refined by others such as yourself. Let us then discover together.
