If you keep running the program and the result is incomprehensible, it seems the next step would be to step back and study the context, looking for any assumptions which have been taken for granted.

If you think about it, epicycles were really good math, as a model of our view of the cosmos and could have been continued indefinitely, as we do remain the center of our point of view.

The first and major fallacy I see being assumed is our perspective on time.

We are these mobile organisms, necessitating a sequential process of perception and have developed a narrative based culture, from sharing experiences and the knowledge gained. So we experience time as the point of the present, moving past to future. Which even physics codifies as measures of duration.

The reality though, is that change turns future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns.

There is no literal dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present, to inform and drive it. Causality and conservation of energy. Cause becomes effect.

Treating time as a dimension, when it is an effect, more like temperature, pressure, color, sound(frequencies and amplitudes), than space, is a bit like a geocentric cosmology.

Consequently we are always focused on the ends, where this narrative is going, rather than the means, this physical state of being we refer to as the present. We trash the is, seeking the ought and wonder what we are doing wrong.

Consider the premise of monotheism; Logically a spiritual absolute would be the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell. The fact we are aware, than the myriad details of which we are aware.

While modern culture rejects the father figure lawgiver, all the paradigms that have sought to replace it still equate their ideals, which are aspirational, with the absolute, which is elemental.

We seek the universal in the unique and wonder why it doesn't stand up to question.

What is?

Energy is "conserved," because it is what is present. It's dynamic creates time.

So the energy, as process, goes past to future, while the patterns generated go future to past. A wave is driven by the energy, while the forms, the fluctuations and undulations, rise and fall, come and go.

In a factory, the product goes start to finish, future to past, while the production line goes the other way, consuming material and expelling product.

As lives go birth to death, while life moves onto the next generation, shedding the old.

The nodes and the networks go opposite directions of time.

With a galaxy, the energy is radiating out, towards infinity, while the forms coalesce in, toward equilibrium. Both entropic.

Consciousness goes past to future, while the perceptions, emotions, thoughts it manifests go future to past.

As these biological organisms, we have the digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems processing the energy driving us on, while the central nervous system sorts through the patterns precipitating out.

So we are that dichotomy of desire and judgement. The gut/heart and the head. Motor and steering.

When desire rules, it is anarchy. When judgement rules, it is tyranny. So we do fluctuate somewhere in the middle.

Liberal and conservative. Youth and age. Infinity and the absolute zero of equilibrium.

Yin and yang, than God Almighty.
