The models break down over infinities and disappear at zero.

If we include all the information from the territory into the map, the signal is lost back in the noise. Whiteout.

Epicycles were brilliant math, as a model of our view of the cosmos.

If the premises are flawed, all the shut up and calculate is garbage in, garbage out.

The current major flawed premise is our perception of time.

As mobile organisms, this sentient interface our body has with its situation functions as a sequence of perceptions, in order to navigate, so our sense of time is the present moving past to future.

It's the basis of culture and civilization, as narrative and history.

Yet the evident reality is that activity and the resulting change turns future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns.

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

Different clocks can run at different rates simply because they are separate actions. Think metabolism.

That culture is about synchronizing the community, using the same languages, rules, measures, it might seem there should be one universal flow of time, but it's rabbit time and turtle time and the turtle is still plodding along, long after the rabbit has died.

Energy is conserved, because it manifests this presence, creating time, temperature, pressure, color, sound as frequencies and amplitudes, rates and degrees.

The energy goes past to future, because the patterns generated come and go, future to past.

Energy drives the wave, the fluctuations rise and fall. No tiny strings necessary.

Consciousness also goes past to future, while the perceptions, emotions and thoughts giving it form and structure go future to past. Suggesting consciousness manifests as energy.

The digestive system processes the energy, feeding the flame, while the nervous system sorts the information, signals from the noise, with the circulation system in the middle.

Science tends to have a similar problem with energy, as with consciousness, in that they are only defined by the forms they express and given it is the function of the mind to sort forms, there is this top down bias.

As galaxies are the energy radiating out, as structure coalesces in, there are more aspects of this relationship to consider.
