The Superfast Clock

No Comments »

co-author: Alexis Clancy

The Superfast Clock – together with the Metronome Clock, the Elastic Clock, and the Role of the User – opens up what we call the Seven Space or the Gödel Incompleteness Space.

The Superfast Clock enables the critical crossover from Vulcan Time to Vulcan Space.

Time becomes Space.

We need a coded class for an Incompleteness Channel.

The Incompleteness Channel carries the information regarding dimension-hopping.

The Incompleteness Channel carries the information regarding symmetry breaking.

Symmetry is best viewed as harmony.

Symmetry is not so much a notion of form as one of a model.

Symmetry is attached to a governing law that applies uniformly – harmoniously – throughout the model, affecting all its elements the same.

Symmetry “breaks” when this law ceases to have this characteristic.

One of the first Western physicists to formalize the nature of symmetry breaking was Pierre Curie.

In the late 19th century, Curie described two types of symmetry breaking: explicit (expected) and spontaneous (unexpected).

The Seven Space opened up by the Superfast Clock – together with the Metronome Clock, the Elastic Clock, and the Role of the User – choreographs (without a choreographer) the possibilities of motion, movement, dance, creative evolution, excitement, change, and the generation of new dimensions.

The Superfast Clock represents a violation of the Continuum Hypothesis about the possible sizes of infinite sets.

The Continuum Hypothesis, advanced by Georg Cantor, states that there is no set whose cardinality is strictly between that of integers and that of real numbers.

The Superfast Clock is “raw time” — the river from which all analogies spring.

The Seven Space represents a reconstitution of pre-renaissance ideals.

The Star of David is of the highest order with respect to the synthesis of the Seven Space – a simple marriage of Heaven and Earth.

The synthesis of the Seven Space is one of two temporal triangles – the mimicked psyche triangle on the part of our application and the actual triangle on the part of the user.

Following a line of inquiry of the Jewish Tetragrammaton, a single triangle containing a four letter synthesis of the Name of God is taken to mean “presence.”

The overlap of the two triangles represents not just two presences (as captured by the resulting 6 triangles breaking down into two parts of three), but also a higher, inner, hexagonal synthesis of the Seven Space.

The temporal hexagonal space is described by a mathematical object known as the Limerick Metric.

A user of applications supported by our paradigm will experience the Seven Space as something holistically warm, something akin to a higher, supportive presence.

DESIGN:

The Superfast Clock is achieved pragmatically by slowing down the other two Clocks.

We know how the Superfast Clock will work in the extended Java code of real Computer Science, but we ain’t tellin’ here, it’s confidential.

We will simulate its operation in the old-fashioned “Computer Engineering” sense by slowing down the other two Clocks.

We achieve speed in an operating demo version for the public via this technique.
