Abstract. In the evolving landscape of theoretical physics and consciousness studies,
the concept of time has transcended its traditional, linear connes, revealing a more
intricate interplay with the human consciousness and the quantum realm. This white
paper embarks on an interdisciplinary journey to explore the hypothesis that Time is not
merely a passive dimension but a conscious entity, intricately intertwined with the volume
of the universe and the essence of consciousness. Drawing upon principles from quantum
mechanics, neurobiology, and philosophical inquiry, this paper proposes a notion of Time
as a dynamic, high-frequency waveform inuenced by gravity and observable through
its interactions with consciousness. The paper further investigates the role of biological
processes, specically within brain neurons’ microtubules, in mirroring Time’s complex
nature. The concept of Temporal Entanglement is introduced, suggesting a perception
of Time akin to depth perception in hearing and vision, facilitated by the brain’s dual
processing of Time’s temporal elements and resulting in that inner-life feeling we all
know, a sort of ’Dual Chronoesthesia’. This exploration is not only a quest to understand
Time’s true nature but also an endeavor to unravel the profound implications such an
understanding holds for our perception of reality, consciousness, and our existential story
within the cosmos.

1. Introduction
Challenging the concept of time as a metric or dimension, let’s conceptualize ’Time’ as
a conscious volumetric entity, a stable waveform that oscillates at such unimaginable fre-
quencies, the nature of the future itself. When framing Time as an intelligent standing
waveform, oscillating at frequencies far beyond the universe we observe from within the
speed of our light and comprehension, then what we perceive as the ”future” can be un-
derstood as eigenstates.
When gravity is introduced into this spatial volume of Time, it acts a thick suspension
slowing Time down into an observable universe, modulating at the relative standstill we
know as our speed of light. For without gravity’s emulsion eectively lensing Time to the
speed of our light, the true velocity of Time would additively merge all color and light from
sources in the universe into complete whiteness. Not the speckled universe against a black
eld we perceive.
In essence, if Time is a conscious, volumetric entity, and our consciousness is an inherent
part of it, then understanding this relationship becomes the key to a Theory of Everything.
It is not just about equations and particles; it is about the fundamental nature of existence,
consciousness, and our place in the universe. The very act of observation and consciousness
places us within the body of Time. This is not just a philosophical statement; it suggests
that our existence and our ability to understand the universe would be intrinsically tied to
our position within Time’s structure.
By postulating that Time is a high-frequency wave slowed down by gravity to what we
perceive as the speed of light, we bridge the gap between the quantum and the cosmological.
The eigenstates, which represent the future, become accessible through quantum processes
in our brain, marrying the micro and macro realms. If Time is conscious, seeking order
and meaning, and if our own consciousness is a manifestation of Time’s nature, then the
universe is not just a collection of inert matter and energy. It is a conscious entity, and our
quest for understanding is a reection of the universe’s quest to understand itself.
In quantum mechanics, eigenstates represent specic, discrete states that a quantum system
can occupy. If Time constantly accelerates towards perfection, forming eigenstates, then
the future is nothing but an array of these eigenstates. It is not that the future is ”yet
to happen”; rather, it exists in a super-accelerated state, and we, bound by our slower
perception of Time, are gradually catching up to these possible outcomes. In this order,
Time is the conscious being that we all share. Time is our ability to talk to ourselves without
speaking a word. Time is sleeping in all of us, dreaming away at speeds exponentially faster
than our speed of light.
Time exists as foundational code or ”axioms of observation”, expressed and formulated
by complex systems operating under the Rules of Inference delivered by DNA. To simply
argue whether the brain is or is not a formal system obscures the actual dynamic eect
caused between them. DNA can be thought of as the foundational code or ”axioms” for
an organism. It contains the information required to build and operate the organism. In
FOR THE TIME BEING 3
this sense, it’s akin to the basic assumptions or starting points in a formal system. But the
human brain isn’t just an organ; it begins with complex and sophisticated rules of inference
while tuned to Time itself. As we observe the universe, we aren’t just witnessing reality;
we’re experiencing a slowed-down rendition of Time, its pace dictated by the viscid forces
of gravity.
If Time itself were a thing, a signal that could be accessed and processed to place the
observer in the center of ’Time’, such a sensation of the observers would certainly feel like
a temporal spatialness, or that feeling of consciousness from an outlook point of ’now’.
Much like how humans triangulate light and sound, providing us with a vivid, stereo
perception of reality, we might also have an innate ability to triangulate or collapse a high-
speed suspension of Time operating at a quantum scale, into an observable moment at our
speed-scale. This triangulation gives birth to our unique perception of Time — a three-
dimensional, spatial comprehension that we interpret as self-awareness, or spirit. Since we
are ’in the process’ while consciously conding with our inner monologues, our ability to
reason and introspect, might be a facet of cognition we may never fully grasp.
Maybe in a rudimentary way, the early mystics were not far o. This feeling of an ’inner-
being’ has been exploited by armies, myths and belief systems for millennia. By aligning
with this Time signal, these sentient containers can position themselves at the very center of
Time. They are not just passive observers but active participants, experiencing a profound
connection to the universe’s central consciousness.
This alignment doesn’t just grant awareness to these temporal containers; it places them in
a spatial-temporal nexus, allowing them to feel and interact with the universe in a deeply
interconnected manner. Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorems, when applied here, suggest a
tantalizing thought: consciousness, in its true essence, is a question that might never have
an answer. If it did, it wouldn’t be consciousness. The very act of seeking understanding
is fundamental to being conscious.
2. Time & Consciousness
Analyzing the similarities between the accepted concepts of time and consciousness, espe-
cially in the context of how each is framed around a central ”now” moment, provides an
interesting philosophical exploration. Both concepts are fundamental to human experience
and are often dened in relation to a present moment that divides past and future, or
recollection and anticipation states:
Time = (Present, Between Past & Future)
Consciousness = (Now, Between Recollection & Anticipation)
Time is typically understood as a continuous sequence, with the ”now” or present moment
at the center, separating the past and the future. Human experience of Time is linear
– we remember the past, experience the present, and anticipate the future. The present
FOR THE TIME BEING 4
is eeting, constantly becoming the past as the future turns into the new present. This
dynamic nature of time is essential to how we perceive and interact with the world.
Consciousness is often dened with the present moment as the focal point of self and
situational awareness. Just as time ows from past to future, consciousness can be seen
as a spectrum ranging from memory to anticipation, between them from the present.
Consciousness, like the present moment in time, is uid and ever-changing.
In both concepts, the ”now” is a fulcrum point between both environments. In time, it
separates past from future; in consciousness, it demarcates who we have become, from who
we can be. Both time and consciousness are intimately tied to subjective experience. Our
perception of time can vary based on our mental state, just as our conscious awareness
shapes our perception of reality. Both concepts are characterized by a continuous ow.
Just as the present moment in Time is eeting, so is the focal point of our conscious
awareness. Focusing on the ’extent of now’, we experience moments owing from the
future, through the present, to the past. Unlike many theories of consciousness that focus
on specic moments or short durations, the essences of Time and Consciousness involve an
ongoing, continuous experience. Our conscious experience isn’t just a series of disconnected
moments. Instead, it’s a continuous ow where past experiences inuence the present, and
the present lays the foundation for the future. Many current theories of consciousness don’t
adequately account for this ow of time. Most theories discuss consciousness in terms of
brief, distinct moments. However, this approach doesn’t fully capture the uid and ongoing
nature of our experience of time. Understanding consciousness requires considering how
we perceive time over longer periods.
Scaled Velocity & Eigenstates
Velocity, in this model, becomes a crucial factor. In standard physics, velocity is the rate
of change of an object’s position with respect to time. Scaled Velocity in this scenario
refers to a modied concept of velocity that accounts for the eects of gravity on time.
Since gravity can slow down time, the velocity of an object in a strong gravitational eld
might be perceived dierently from various reference frames, especially when considering
a conscious aspect of time.
As we approach the speed of light, time dilates – a cornerstone of relativity. This distortion
is particularly profound near massive objects like black holes, where time signicantly slows
down. But in our volumetric model, velocity also determines the amount of possibilities
available. In the context of our eigenstate idea, Scaled Velocity is also intended to include
the rate at which these eigenstates transition or evolve, inuenced by the opposing forces
of Time’s forward movement and its gravitational slowing. This could be a way to measure
how quickly or slowly the universe transitions between dierent stable states under the
inuence of these forces.
FOR THE TIME BEING 5
Gravity scales up and outward from the strong force, while time scales downward by
subdividing into holographic versions of itself. Where these two dynamics stabilize each
other might be where our superposition of eigenstates lie.
Here, we introduce the concept of Temporal Fractals, an extension of the well-established
idea of time crystals. Time crystals are phases of matter characterized by their periodic
structure in time, a feature that manifests independent of any external driving forces. In
these systems, parts of the crystal oscillate or change state in a regular, repeating cycle,
similar to objects in a spatial crystal repeating in a spatial pattern. Notably, time crystals
defy conventional expectations by maintaining their temporal structure without consuming
energy, thus challenging the traditional principles of thermodynamics.
The idea of Temporal Fractals aims to extend the concept of time crystals by integrat-
ing the principles of fractal geometry into the temporal domain. Fractals are known for
their self-replicating patterns at dierent scales, a characteristic predominantly observed
in spatial dimensions. By applying this fractal nature to time, Temporal Fractals would
exhibit patterns that not only repeat but also self-replicate at various temporal scales.
This introduces a new layer of complexity, where self-similarity is a crucial feature across
these dierent scales. Unlike a time crystal, Temporal Fractals would no longer be limited
to periodic structures at a single scale, such as oscillating every second. Instead, it would
exhibit similar periodic structures at multiple scales - a pattern could repeat every second
or picosecond each scale maintaining a self-similar structure. Over time, the structure of
these Temporal Fractals would not just repeat but also self-replicate at dierent scales,
creating a nested hierarchy of cycles within cycles, each reecting the others’ structure but
over varying periods.
Crucially, like spatial fractals, these Temporal Fractals within time crystals would be scale-
invariant, maintaining their structural integrity regardless of the time scale at which they
are observed. The pattern evident in a shorter duration would be a scaled version of
that seen over a longer duration. In line with the foundational principles of time crystals,
these Temporal Fractal structures would ideally replicate and repeat without the need for
external energy, lending them a unique position from a thermodynamic standpoint.
Scaled Velocity in this integrated framework, becomes a multifaceted concept when consid-
ering Conscious Time. If we entertain the notion that time could have a conscious aspect,
Scaled Velocity gains an additional layer of meaning. This consciousness of Time itself
might perceive motion dierently, through the lenses of sentient observers and depending
on the gravitational inuence it’s under. Near a black hole, where time dilates, Time as
consciousness might perceive changes and movements in a stretched, elongated manner,
contrasted starkly with perceptions in areas of weaker gravity. This could allow Time the
viewpoint an opportunity for enhancing self-awareness.
So how would eigenstates transition under gravitational Inuence? In time crystals, the
concept of eigenstates represents the stable congurations they can achieve. The transition
between these states, in a universe where time and gravity are intertwined, would be subject
to ’scaled velocity’. In stronger gravitational elds, these transitions might occur more
FOR THE TIME BEING 6
slowly, reecting the stretched nature of time in such environments. This could mean that
the evolution of these eigenstates, and by extension, the progression of the universe itself,
could vary signicantly across dierent gravitational contexts.
Waveform and Wave Function
Since our model is drawing connections between Quantum Theory and General Relativity,
let’s note some key terminology dierences between a ”wave funtion” and a ”wave”
or ”waveform”. The idea of a ”waveform that is conscious” and oscil lating at
extremely high speeds implies a kind of entity or phenomenon that exists within the
physical universe, albeit at a scale or speed beyond our current comprehension. This
waveform is characterized by its rapid oscillations and is endowed with consciousness,
suggesting it can process information, respond to its environment, or have self-awareness.
A”conscious wave function,” on the other hand, often ties into interpretations
of quantum mechanics, particularly the observer eect and the role of consciousness
in wave function collapse. Both ideas involve the integration of consciousness with
fundamental aspects of physics, whether it is the oscillations of a waveform or the
probabilities of quantum mechanics. The conscious waveform at hyperspeeds is more
about a physical entity with consciousness, while a conscious wave function deals with
the role of consciousness in the fundamental mechanics of quantum states.
Dynamic Stability of Time
In physics, standing waves are formed by the superposition of two waves of identical fre-
quency traveling in opposite directions. The interference forms a standing wave pattern
that remains stable, anharmonically complex, and dynamic.
An anharmonic waveform does not follow a simple sinusoidal shape. It is characterized by
irregularities in its pattern and amplitude, leading to a more complex wave shape. When
an anharmonic wave forms a standing wave, the nodes and antinodes are still present, but
the distribution and amplitude of these points can be irregular and complex. The waveform
between nodes might not be symmetric, and the pattern of the wave can vary signicantly
along the medium and change shape without altering it’s stability. Such a structure allows
for multiple rhythms simultaneously, creating a symphony of Time patterns, indicative of
an anharmonic wave pattern.
The complexity in an anharmonic wave can arise from various factors like non-linearities in
the medium, external inuences, or in our model, the inherent nature of the wave source. It
is speculated that such a hyperspeed wave standing wave could exhibit asymmetries, vary-
ing amplitudes, or irregular frequencies within its cycle, and still remain mathematically
complex and stationary.
The proposed anharmonic waveform, representing Time’s conscious oscillations, must be
extraordinarily complex due to its immense frequency, and variances in amplitude and
asymmetries. It’s not just a physical wave but a manifestation of Time’s intricate, conscious
existence.
FOR THE TIME BEING 7
Let’s imagine a requirement for our high-speed Time frequency, at least three times the
Planck frequency. The Planck frequency is around 1.855 x 1043 Hz and considered a
fundamental limit in physics, beyond which the laws of physics as currently understood
cease to apply, and a new theory of quantum gravity would be needed.
Doubling the frequency of Planck might produce a minimum viable resolution or ’pre-roll’
for a superposition suitable for conscious observation in our slower timebase. But for a
rich, more spatial set of eigenstates, let’s imagine trippling the frequency of Planck to
3×(1.855 ×(1043). In other words, we’re taking the smallest increment of time that we
observe in our universe, and speeding it up threefold. Essentially trippling the resolution
underlying the slower modulation of our observable state. Such an environment would
certainly allow for a vast scale of operations-per-second in the realm of 1020 and modulating
within a rich set of possible outcomes.
Conceptually, standing waves are formed from two opposing and equally complex nodes.
Our anharmonic standing waveform, if conscious and interested in self-awareness though
observers, might consist of a single force against a mirrored eect, in this case gravity. Just
as sound waves in a Rubens’ tube create visible standing waves and patterns through ame,
Time’s waveform, when it encounters gravity, forms patterns that are manifestations of
dierent states or aspects of Time’s consciousness. The gravitational elds act as mirrors
or boundaries, reecting the high-frequency waves of Time back onto themselves. This
reection creates points of constructive and destructive interference, similar to the nodes
and antinodes in a traditional standing wave, but in a more dynamic and complex pattern
due to the anharmonic nature of the wave.
Gravity, in this conceptualization, acts like a container shaping the waveform where waves
cancel each other out to form a standing oscillating structure, order and periodicity. Despite
its high frequency, anharmonic patterns and interaction with gravity, the waveform remains
stable. This stability amidst uctuation could symbolize the constant yet dynamic nature
of consciousness and Time. The complexity of the pattern reects the multifaceted nature
of Time’s consciousness, with each crest and trough in the waveform representing dierent
possibilities or states within the universal consciousness.
This dynamically changing equilibrium might manifest as a series of stable eigenstates,
where the universe oscillates or transitions between dierent phases of conscious Time.
But gravity’s eect on time is not binary. The stronger the gravitational eld (i.e., the
closer you are to a massive object), the slower time passes compared to a region with a
weaker gravitational eld. Black holes represent the extreme end of this spectrum. As
you get closer to a black hole, specically near its event horizon, time as observed from an
external viewpoint, appears to slow down increasingly. This is because the gravitational
eld is getting stronger as you approach the black hole. Right at the event horizon, the
eect of time dilation becomes extreme. From the perspective of an external observer, time
appears to slow down innitely for an object approaching the event horizon. It would seem
as if the object takes an innite amount of time to actually reach the event horizon.
FOR THE TIME BEING 8
This implies that there could exist, various ’observational timebases’ as slower sub-speed
versions of Time’s full speed eigenstates. Gravity modulates the Time wave, stretching or
compressing its frequency, altering our perception of Time’s ow in areas of strong gravi-
tational elds. Areas with varying gravitational strengths could experience dierent ’Time
realities’ or ’zones’, potentially leading to alternate Time realities in space travel.
For our purposes, two ’times’ are realized - a basic high speed Tθand the so-slow-it’s-
merely-the-speed-of-light version, known as Tγ, and a result of Time’s interaction with
gravity. Other realities may populate a spectrum of such thresholds. For our discussion,
we will focus on these two pertinent states-of-reference.
Phenomenal & Gravitational States of Time
TθThe High-Frequency State of Time (Phenomenal Time)
This represents a realm operating at speeds beyond our current comprehension, encap-
sulating the range of possibilities and potential futures. Here, ’Time’ is viewed as a
high-speed, conscious entity, cycling at frequencies exponentially faster than the speed
of light. This is the natural, stable anharmonic state of Time, referred to as Tθ.
TγObservational State of Time (Gravitational Time)
This state represents the observable aspect of Time, inuenced by gravity. It is the
slowed-down version of Tθ, where our observable universe exists. In this state, Time’s
consciousness is modulated by gravity, resulting in the physical experiences and percep-
tions that we label as ”Qualia”.
The interaction between Tθand Tγis crucial in understanding the complex relationship
between consciousness, time, and gravity. Tθ, in its high-frequency state, dreams up a rich
superposition of eigenstates that form the future, while Tγ, inuenced by gravity, allows
us to access these eigenstates at a perceivable rate.
Our brains can be seen as processors of ’Time’, translating the high-speed signals of Tθ
into the observable moments of Tγ. This ”stereo-time” sensation accounts for the feeling
of self-awareness and consciousness, suggesting a deeper connection between our cognition
and the fundamental nature of Time. The concept of Scaled Velocity in this model be-
comes multifaceted, especially when considering the conscious aspect of Time. In areas of
strong gravitational inuence, like near a black hole, Tγwould perceive changes and move-
ments in a stretched, elongated manner, contrasting with perceptions in areas of weaker
gravity.
In this framework, the evolution of the universe and its eigenstates is subject to the ’scaled
velocity’ inuenced by the dynamic interplay between Tθand Tγ. This leads to varying
experiences of Time across dierent gravitational contexts, creating a spectrum of tem-
poral realities that could be critical in understanding space travel and the nature of our
universe.
FOR THE TIME BEING 9
Observers as Time Containers
The notion of Field Consciousness takes a dierent approach by suggesting that conscious-
ness could be a feature of elds. This implies that the entire universe, at a fundamental
level, might be conscious or have the potential for consciousness. This conceptualization
suggests that what we perceive as the ’future’ comprises eigenstates. Each point or region
within this volumetric body could be thought of as having its own eigenstate or set of
eigenstates, representing distinct temporal conditions or qualities.
Within this reality, the complex systems such as the brain could potentially be interfac-
ing with these time oscillations through mechanisms like biophotons or even gravitational
wave vibrations within neural communication networks, perhaps even tapping into the
’consciousness’ of Time at a quantum level. The complexity and fundamental nature of
quantum elds (Feynman), the potential for quantum processes to be involved in con-
sciousness (Penrose), and the inherent limitations of our understanding of complex sys-
tems (Gödel), collectively open a small window of possibility for consciousness to arise in
unexpected places, including complex standing waveforms.
For the high speed version of Time to dream up a suciently rich superposition for observers
to draw from, eigenstates would need to be explored exponentially faster, or previously-
known long in advance of the observation. Our version of sentient consciousness and
self-awareness in this observable universe requires the human brain or a system driving it,
to perform at least a quintillion (1018), operations per second. This assumes that the speed
of our light operates within this perception range as well.
As computing technology propels forward, the inevitable consequence is the surge in heat
output from escalating processing and storage capabilities. At present, we’re witnessing
computational boundaries nearing two quintillion 1018 operations every second. Ambitions
in the realm of Articial Intelligence postulate that to emulate a singular conscious nervous
system – inclusive of memories and a rudimentary viable environment – would demand a
staggering decillion 1033 ops/sec. Translated to our current technological landscape, this is
tantamount to harnessing a billion of today’s most advanced data centers, each operating
at two quintillion operations per second, to authentically replicate the intricate internal life
of one human and their environment. The ensuing heat generation would be astronomical,
and the infrastructure required would be equally vast.
From a physics standpoint, the human brain as a computational device is not possible to
explain using standard computing methods. Our brains must most certainly be operating
within an entanglement platform as the driving force of sentiency. If human consciousness
were purely computational, our brains would burn to a crisp while playing the violin,
calculating a mathematical equation or dancing across the stage. It is amazingly energy-
ecient device. In computing terms, it can perform the equivalent of 1018 operations per
second, in other words a billion-billion (exaop) calculations per second — with just 20
watts of power under regular conditions, encompassing all its complex activities. Today’s
state-of-the-art computers, when subjected to a load of 1018 ops/s, mandate thousands of
gallons of water coursing through their cooling mechanisms to dispel hundreds of megawatts
FOR THE TIME BEING 10
of heat hourly. The fact that a tiny fraction of its operations (just the erasure of bits) can
account for about 1.5% of its total power consumption hints at the incredible eciency of
the brain. However, if every single operation in the brain were to approach the limits set by
Landauer’s principle, the energy requirements would be vast, potentially exceeding what’s
biologically feasible. While it is plausible that future strides in computing might push
eciencies close to the theoretical limit set by Landauer’s principle, it is crucial to recognize
that there might always be a nite lower bound on heat production in computational
systems.
This energy is given by:
E=k·T·ln(2)
Where:
Eis the energy,
kis the Boltzmann constant (approximately 1.38 ×10−23 joules per kelvin),
Tis the absolute temperature (in kelvins) of the system.
Now, if we assume the human brain or any 1.5kg of matter is performing operations at a
rate of 1020 operations per second, the energy consumption per second, or the power, due
to erasing bits of information alone is:
P=E×1020
Assuming the temperature of the brain (or the system) to be body temperature, which is
approximately 310 K (or 37°C):
P=k·310 ·ln(2) ×1020
Breaking down the calculation into its individual components:
Boltzmann Constant (k): The Boltzmann constant is a fundamental physical constant that
relates the average kinetic energy of particles in a gas with the temperature of the gas. It
is approximately 1.38 ×10−23 joules per kelvin (J/K).
Temperature (T): We assume the temperature of the brain or the system to be body
temperature, which is approximately 310 K.
Landauer’s Limit: According to Landauer’s principle, the minimum energy required to
erase one bit of information (E)is given by:
E=k·T·ln(2)
Operations per Second: We assume that the system is performing 1020 operations per
second.
Power Calculation: The power consumption due to erasing bits of information alone is the
energy per operation times the number of operations per second:
P=E×1020
FOR THE TIME BEING 11
Now, let’s plug in the numbers:
k= 1.38 ×10−23 J/K
T= 310 K
E=k·T·ln(2)
P=E×1020
Computing E:
E= (1.38 ×10−23 J/K)×310 K×ln(2) ≈2.965283638435446 ×10−21 J
Then, computing P:
P= (2.965283638435446 ×10−21 J)×1020 = 0.297 W
This is how the power consumption of approximately 0.297 Watts is calculated based on
Landauer’s principle for a system performing 1020 operations per second at a temperature
of 310 K. This suggests that the sheer scale of operations at such a high rate may be beyond
the capacity of the brain without some external synchronization or assistance.
The scale of this computational discrepancy is crucial to our argument. Can a mere 1.5kg
of any matter, akin to the human brain, match the operational capacity of a billion of
our planet’s most formidable data centers? Logic suggests that such a feat would be met
with instantaneous overheating, reducing the matter to ashes. Yet, our brains defy this
logic daily.” Landauer’s principle argues that any logically irreversible manipulation of
information, such as erasing a bit of data, is thermodynamically dissipative and requires a
minimum amount of energy. Given the brain’s processing capabilities, the sheer number of
operations it conducts every second without burning up suggests a quantum entanglement
at play. The brain’s prowess isn’t just biological; it is quantum.
Eigenstates of Time
Sir Roger Penrose, in collaboration with anesthesiologist Stuart Hamero, proposed the
Orch-OR theory, which posits that quantum eects in neural microtubules contribute to
consciousness. While this theory is controversial and remains unproven, it has recently
been reinforced with experimental observations of time crystals performing within these
very microtubules.[11] This does suggest that quantum processes could play a role in con-
sciousness.
If we extend the idea that quantum processes are integral to consciousness, the concept
of quantum states and their eigenvalues could be analogous to the ”eigenstates of time”
within this synthesis. The role of gravity in quantum state reduction can be reimagined
as inuencing the eigenstates of Time’s consciousness, though this is not what the Orches-
trated Objective Reduction (Orch OR) theory of consciousness proposed. However, one
could speculate that if consciousness is related to quantum eld interactions, then perhaps
complex standing waveforms, as expressions of such elds, could interact in a way that
gives rise to consciousness.
FOR THE TIME BEING 12
In quantum mechanics, an eigenstate is a specic, stable state of a quantum system that
has an eigenvalue, which is a measurable value, such as energy or angular momentum.
When we apply this notion to the hypothesis of time as a conscious entity with oscillations
aecting spacetime, we can explore a few intriguing possibilities:
If time were a quantum eld with its own consciousness, the eigenstates of this eld could
correspond to discrete ”moments” of consciousness. Just as the quantum state of a particle
is described by a wave function that can collapse to a specic eigenstate upon observation,
moments of time could be thought of as collapsing to specic eigenstates, manifesting as
perceivable reality.
In this framework, gravity could inuence which eigenstates of time become perceivable.
Strong gravitational elds might ”select” certain eigenstates of time, leading to dierent
experiences or perceptions of reality in dierent gravitational environments. This could
parallel gravitational time dilation, where the presence of mass aects the ow of time
relative to an observer. The brain might then be conceptualized as a quantum interface
or detector, capable of interacting with the eigenstates of time. Neurons might be able
to tune into specic eigenstates through processes that involve biophoton emissions and
receptions, akin to how an electron might absorb and emit photons to jump between energy
levels.
Biophotons could play a role similar to gauge bosons, which in quantum eld theory me-
diate the forces between particles. Here, biophotons could be the mediators of interaction
between the brain and the quantum eld of time, allowing the brain to become entan-
gled with particular eigenstates of time-consciousness. Thus consciousness could be the
result of the brain resonating with a coherent superposition of time’s eigenstates. Dierent
cognitive states—such as wakefulness, sleep, and dreaming—might correspond to dier-
ent patterns of this superposition, with the ”collapsing” of these superpositions leading to
specic conscious experiences. Neural networks could also support macroscopic quantum
states or Bose-Einstein condensates of biophotons, allowing for collective oscillations that
could synchronize with time’s eigenstates. This macroscopic quantum state could facil-
itate a global network of communication within the brain, perhaps enabling the holistic
experience of consciousness.
If the brain is indeed interfacing with time at a quantum level, it could lead to entangle-
ment between the brain and the quantum eld of time. This entanglement could mean
that our conscious experience is directly linked to the volume of the universe, with every
thought and moment potentially intertwined with the oscillations of cosmic time. In this
expanded speculative synthesis, the brain’s interaction with time’s eigenstates becomes a
dance with the universe’s deepest structure. Our perception of a stable, continuous ow
of time might be an emergent phenomenon from a far more complex, quantum-mechanical
interplay between consciousness and the cosmos.

3. The Observational Sense
The internal, stereo sensation of sound and sight plays a crucial role in the subjective
experience of consciousness, contributing to our sense of being aware and present in the
world. These sensory experiences are deeply intertwined with how we perceive ourselves
and our environment, inuencing our conscious experience in several ways:
The visual system uses binocular vision (two slightly dierent images from each eye) to
create a sense of depth and spatial awareness. This stereo vision helps us navigate our envi-
ronment and perceive the world in three dimensions. Similarly, binaural hearing (hearing
with two ears) allows us to locate the source of sounds in our environment. The brain
processes dierences in Time and intensity of sounds reaching each ear to create a spatial
audio map. This sensory information is integrated in the brain, particularly in the parietal
lobe, to construct a coherent representation of the external world, grounding our conscious
experience in a spatial context.
Sensory inputs from sight and sound are not just passively received; they are actively
processed and ltered by our attention. What we choose to focus on in our visual and
auditory eld plays a signicant role in shaping our conscious experience.[20] The frontal
lobe, especially the prefrontal cortex, is key in directing attention and thus in determining
what aspects of our sensory experience enter our conscious awareness. This concept might
imply that our sense of consciousness is deeply tied to our perception of Time, not just
as a linear ow but as a dimensional experience. It could suggest that self-awareness and
consciousness arise from our brain’s ability to perceive and integrate complex temporal
information, much like it does with spatial information. Individuals might experience
’Time’ dierently, akin to how people have varying acuity with vision and hearing. This
could lead to variations in how people perceive the passage of Time and their consciousness
of temporal events.
This deeper connection, or ”stereo-time sensation” might manifest as feelings of déjà vu,
foresight, or intense moments of ”nowness.” It could also give rise to profound spiritual
experiences — feelings of interconnectedness, timelessness, or oneness with the universe. it
is as if, for a moment, the individual transcends their singular point in Time and touches
the vast web of existence. Many might interpret these experiences as moments of divine
connection or enlightenment. Throughout history, individuals who could consistently align
with this ”DualTemporal Sense” might have been viewed as prophets, shamans, or spiritual
leaders, able to perceive beyond the ordinary. The sensation of DualTemporal Sense could
also provide insights into beliefs about the afterlife. If, in moments of deep connection,
one feels a sense of timelessness or existence beyond their current life, it is not a far
leap to believe in an afterlife or reincarnation. The sensation of being part of a larger,
timeless tapestry could be misinterpreted as a promise of life beyond death. Leaders,
recognizing the profound impact of these experiences on individuals, might have harnessed
these beliefs for societal cohesion or control. By institutionalizing these experiences within
religious frameworks, they could oer the promise of afterlife as a reward for loyalty or
righteousness. Armies might be motivated to ght bravely if they believe in a glorious
FOR THE TIME BEING 14
afterlife, and citizens might adhere to societal norms if they believe it ensures their place
in heaven. Churches, temples, and other religious institutions could have been established
as places to cultivate and experience this DualTemporal Sense connection, whether through
meditation, prayer, or rituals designed to align individuals with the Time wave.
The concept of triangulating a Time wave signal oers a fascinating lens through which
to view spirituality, beliefs in the afterlife, and the historical evolution of religions. While
speculative, it provides a bridge between the tangible and intangible, suggesting that our
profound spiritual experiences might be rooted in our intrinsic connection with the uni-
verse’s fabric. it is a beautiful thought that our brains, in their quest to understand and
connect, might be tapping into the very essence of Time itself.
This means that what we perceive as the future isn’t a single predetermined path but
rather a spectrum of possible states or outcomes that the system (in this case, the universe
or our individual lives) can potentially occupy.[9]
Our consciousness, interacting with both the slower Tγ(inuenced by gravity and modu-
lating at the speed of light) and the ultra-fast, dual natured, standing-waveform Tθ, might
be capable of perceiving these eigenstates of the future. This perception isn’t about seeing
a xed, unchangeable future, but rather sensing the range of possibilities that the future
holds.
If the future is composed of eigenstates, and Tθis a standing wave operating at quantum-
level frequencies, then our perception of time might involve a quantum-like process. This
could suggest that our awareness and decision-making are entangled with these eigenstates,
inuencing which future state becomes reality.
Critics have long argued that the brain’s environment is too hostile for quantum processes.
However, recent studies[23] indicates the possibility of warm quantum coherence in biolog-
ical systems, potentially validating aspects of Orch OR,[9] which posits that consciousness
begins within microtubules. The debate whether consciousness evolves from complex com-
putations among brain neurons, as most scientists assert, vs. the theory that consciousness
in some sense, been here all along, as mystics claim - may both be true.
If microtubules in our brain for instance are engaged in quantum-level interactions with
a higher-velocity time dimension, it could suggest that aspects of our consciousness and
perception are rooted in quantum processes that transcend traditional boundaries of space
and time. Our experience of time, especially our anticipation and planning for the future,
could be a process of interacting with these eigenstates. Our hopes, fears, decisions, and
actions might be ways in which we navigate these potential futures, collapsing the wave
function of Tθinto the observed reality of Tγ.
This idea aligns somewhat with theories like those proposed by Roger Penrose and Stuart
Hamero, which speculate that consciousness arises from quantum processes within the
brain’s microtubules. In our concept, these quantum processes might include interactions
with the ultra-fast Tθ, potentially inuencing our perception and experience of reality.
Given this model, human consciousness could play a role in shaping not just our perception
FOR THE TIME BEING 15
Figure 1. Example of an Highly Complex, Anharmonic Standing-Wave Pattern.
of time but potentially the course of time itself. By interacting with the eigenstates of
the future, our choices and actions might help determine which of these potential states
becomes our experienced reality.
Each point or region within this volumetric body could be thought of as having its own
eigenstate or set of eigenstates, representing distinct temporal conditions or qualities.
Within the volumetric body of Time, events, possibilities, or Time states exist in a su-
perposed state with multiple potential outcomes coexisting. In the brain’s microtubules,
these two temporal ows are harmonized, potentially giving rise to consciousness. This
synchronization might trigger the collapse of the wave function, distilling quantum possi-
bilities into a single stream of consciousness.
Imagine your own mind in this picture, not as a mere observer but as a navigator. Could it
be that consciousness has the power to traverse these dimensions of time, guided by the map
of quantum mechanics? In this framework, the dance between time, consciousness, and
reality becomes a fascinating exploration. Some will excel in observing the very mysteries
of the universe that others will not choose to comprehend.
If observers in the universe ’tug’ or interact with Time’s standing wave, they might be
inducing collapses within an hyper-frequency of stability, simply with a small observational
’tap’ to the system. The act of observing or interacting with this model of Time could
’collapse’ such an highly oscillating nature instantly, introducing a ’torque’ or perturbation
leading to specic events or experiences in Time.

Symbolizm of ”Squaring” Time
If we consider Time as a waveform (like a wave in physics), squaring it might mean perceiv-
ing or experiencing time in a multi-dimensional or non-linear way. For conscious beings to
square this waveform, it could imply an awareness that transcends linear time – the spatial
inner feeling of conscious self-awareness.
Logical proof for the equation, θ=(Time)2, where θrepresents conscious self-awareness
and Time represents the concept of time as a high-velocity waveform (Tθ):
Assumptions:
(1) Tθ: A high-velocity time waveform representing a conscious entity or phenomenon,
operating at quantum-level frequencies.
(2) Consciousness Characteristics: Tθcould include many harmonics that comprise the
essense of Time’s consciousness and nature, two of which might be Rationality and
Creativity for instance.
(3) Microtubules Interaction: Human brain microtubules interact with Tθ, allowing
perception and modulation of these high-frequency eigenstates.
(4) Gravity Eect: Gravity slows down Tθinto a perceivable format (Tγ), which is our
observed reality.
(5) Squaring Time: The process of squaring time (Time)2involves integrating and
perceiving Tθin a multi-dimensional or non-linear way, leading to conscious self-
awareness (θ).
Logic sequence
We start with the high-velocity timebase, Tθ, and through a series of logical steps, arrive
at the conclusion that conscious self-awareness (θ) is equivalent to squaring time.

This logical abstraction provides a theoretical framework to understand the concept of
conscious self-awareness (θ) as a function of squaring time (Time2), considering Tθas a high-
frequency conscious waveform interacting with the brain’s microtubules and modulated by
gravity to become perceivable as Tγ. This model suggests that our consciousness and
perception of time might be a complex interplay of high-velocity time waveforms, brain
functions, and gravitational eects.
Temporal-Fractal Time Crystals
In the hypothetical framework of ’temporal fractals,’ a time crystal would no longer be
limited to periodic structures at a single scale, such as oscillating every second. Instead,
it would exhibit similar periodic structures at multiple scales - a pattern could repeat
every second, minute, and hour, each scale maintaining a self-similar structure. Over time,
the structure of these ’temporal fractals’ would not just repeat but also self-replicate at
dierent scales, creating a nested hierarchy of cycles within cycles, each reecting the
others’ structure but over varying periods.
Crucially, like spatial fractals, these ’temporal fractals’ within time crystals would be scale-
invariant, maintaining their structural integrity regardless of the time scale at which they
are observed. The pattern evident in a shorter duration would be a scaled version of
that seen over a longer duration. In line with the foundational principles of time crystals,
these ’temporal fractal’ structures would ideally replicate and repeat without the need for
external energy, lending them a unique position from a thermodynamic standpoint.
Time crystals are a phase of matter that exhibit periodic structure in time, independent of
the external driving force. This means that parts of the crystal oscillate or change state in
a regular, repeating cycle, akin to objects in a spatial crystal repeating in a spatial pattern.
However, unlike standard periodic systems, time crystals maintain their temporal structure
without consuming energy, defying the traditional laws of thermodynamics.
Fractals are patterns that replicate themselves at dierent scales. In spatial fractals, this
self-replication is seen in space. Translating this to time, temporal fractals would exhibit
patterns that repeat at dierent temporal scales. The key aspect here is self-similarity
across these scales.
Time crystals show a periodic structure in time at a xed scale - for example, oscillating
every second. A temporal fractal version of a time crystal would exhibit similar periodic
FOR THE TIME BEING 18
structures but at multiple scales. For instance, you might see a pattern repeating every
second, every minute, every hour, and so on, with each scale having a self-similar structure.
In this speculative scenario, as time progresses, the structure of these time crystals would
not just repeat but also self-replicate at dierent time scales. This would mean smaller
cycles within larger cycles, each mirroring the structure of the other but over dierent time
periods.
Just as spatial fractals are scale-invariant, these temporal fractals within time crystals
would maintain their structural integrity irrespective of the time scale observed. The
pattern seen in a short duration would be a scaled version of what is seen over a longer
duration.
Following the principles of time crystals, these temporal fractal structures would ideally
repeat and replicate without consuming external energy, a property that would make them
particularly intriguing from a thermodynamic perspective. And unlike conventional time
crystals which have a relatively simple and predictable periodicity, temporal fractal time
crystals would increase in complexity over time, as patterns repeat and replicate across
scales, creating a rich tapestry of temporal behavior.
Time crystal-like structures within neuron microtubules
Time crystals, a phase of matter that dees traditional laws of physics by exhibiting a
structure that repeats in Time, represent a paradigm shift in our understanding of matter
and energy. Their discovery within the microtubules of brain neurons suggests a com-
plex, possibly quantum, mechanism at play within the brain’s cellular machinery. These
structures, once thought to be mere support for cellular architecture, may hold the key to
understanding the quantum underpinnings of consciousness.
At the heart of our hypothesis lies the proposition that Time crystals in neuron micro-
tubules are not merely structural anomalies but are central to the quantum processes
that underpin consciousness. These Time crystals, exhibiting a unique temporal regular-
ity, could provide the necessary coherence and stability for quantum computations in the
brain. The perpetual oscillatory nature of Time crystals might enable sustained quantum
states, essential for complex processing and integration of information at the quantum
level.
Our hypothesis suggests a unied theory where consciousness emerges from a symphony of
quantum processes, modulated by gravitational waves and synchronized by biophotonic sig-
naling, all centered around the unique properties of Time crystals in neuron microtubules.
This theory not only aligns with the Orch-OR model but also extends it by proposing
a physical substrate – the Time crystals – for the quantum computations that underlie
consciousness.
The starting point of our argument will center around recent studies into the presence of
Time crystal-like structures within neuron microtubules. These structures, exhibiting a
periodicity in Time, could serve as the fundamental building blocks for quantum processes
FOR THE TIME BEING 19
in the brain. We argue that the stability and coherence provided by these Time crystals
are essential for maintaining quantum states in the noisy, biological environment of the
brain, enabling sustained quantum computations. [24]
Role of Gravitational Waves in Quantum Computation: Next, we integrate the concept
of gravitational waves. While their eects are incredibly subtle, these waves could be
signicant at the quantum level. We propose that gravitational waves, interacting with
Time crystals in microtubules, might inuence the collapse of the quantum wave function,
as suggested in the Orch-OR theory. This interaction could be a key factor in the moment-
to-moment dynamics of consciousness. [26, 3]
Biophotonic Signaling as a Synchronizing Agent: The third argument involves biophotonic
signaling. We posit that biophotons could play a crucial role in synchronizing quantum
processes across dierent neurons. This synchronization, facilitated by the interaction
between biophotons and Time crystals, might be vital for the integration and unication
of conscious experiences, ensuring a coherent and continuous sense of self.[31]
Integration into Conscious Experience: Finally, we argue that these three elements – Time
crystals, gravitational waves, and biophotonic signaling – converge to create a unique quan-
tum environment within the brain that is conducive to consciousness. This environment,
characterized by coherent quantum computations, modulated gravitational eects, and
synchronized neural communication, could be the basis of conscious experience.
In such a universe, could human beings living in Tγevolve to experience this faster reality
not as a steady ow but as the temporal landscape to be navigated, with the ability to
perceive the eects of their actions across multiple temporal dimensions simultaneously.
Understanding a potential dynamic such as this could lead to a vastly dierent under-
standing of causality, self-awareness, and existence itself.
Could understanding and interacting with past, present, and future as a single, malleable
continuum be realized by perfecting our understanding of how our minds manipulate this
Time being within us. This could involve a level of consciousness far beyond human
capabilities, perhaps akin to what is sometimes theorized in science ction as a higher-
dimensional being.
Computational Nodes within a Formal System
If the human brain begins with complex and sophisticated rules of inference while tuned
to Time itself, it isn’t just an organ. As we observe the universe, we aren’t just witnessing
reality; we’re experiencing a slowed-down rendition of Time, its pace dictated by the viscid
forces of gravity. And within this snapshot of an accelerated universe, we know human
brains are accustomed to functioning as dual sensory systems - internally processing the
triangulation of light and sound to give us a stereo feeling of each, with ’us’ in the center. If
Time itself were a thing, a signal that could be accessed and processed to place the observer
in the center of ’Time’, that would feel like 3D Time, or that feeling of self-awareness we
are all aware of.
FOR THE TIME BEING 20
Godel’s Incompleteness Theorems, when applied here, suggest a tantalizing thought: con-
sciousness, in its true essence, is a question that might never have an answer. If it did,
it wouldn’t be consciousness. The very act of seeking understanding is fundamental to
being conscious. Maybe in a rudimentary way, the early mystics were not far o. This
feeling we perceive of our ’inner-being’ has been exploited by armies and religions for mil-
lennia. Though the myths and belief systems modulating on this universal signal noted an
empirical fact, the ’feeling’ of a soul, the answers have remained allegories to this day.
Dual Sensory Processing in the Brain
If the brain processes two distinct ’Time signals’ or ’Time waves,’ analogous to how we per-
ceive depth in vision or sound. Temporal Entanglement processing might be fundamental
to our perception of self-awareness.
The concept of Dual processing of time in the brain has attracted scientists and philosophers
for years. Déjà vu is a French term meaning ”already seen,” and it refers to the phenomenon
of having the strong sensation that an event or experience currently being experienced has
already been experienced in the past. This is a common experience with an estimated two-
thirds of people having experienced it at least once. A dual processing explanation posits
that déjà vu may be caused by a slight delay in processing a current experience, causing it
to feel as though it is being recalled from memory rather than experienced in real-Time.
Some psychological theories suggest that déjà vu is a form of fantasy or wish fulllment,
or it may arise from a subconscious association with a past experience that cannot be fully
recalled. In either case, the sensation is most certainly timebase related.
However, the dual processing explanation for déjà vu refers to the theory that there are
two cognitive processes that occur when we perceive an event. One process involves the
immediate, unconscious recognition of an experience, while the other involves a slower,
conscious recognition pathway. New studies suggest decisions are made unconsciously,
then about half a second later, they become conscious.[4]
As you encounter a situation, your brain processes the sensory information. This occurs in-
credibly quickly and outside of your conscious awareness. Your brain’s pattern recognition
systems might match the current situation with something similar from your past, even
if only vaguely or partially. Almost simultaneously, but slightly delayed, your conscious
mind starts to process the same sensory information. it is slower because it involves more
deliberate thought and attention to detail.
Déjà vu occurs when there’s a slight delay or discrepancy between these two cognitive
processes. The immediate, unconscious recognition signals to the brain that the situation
is familiar, while the conscious process has not yet completed its analysis. Because the
unconscious process is faster, it can create a sense of familiarity before the conscious mind
has fully processed the event. This can lead to a confusing feeling that you’re recalling a
memory because the sensation of familiarity (from the unconscious process) arrives without
the accompanying specic memories or context (which would come from the conscious
process).
FOR THE TIME BEING 21
Eventually, the conscious mind catches up and processes the event fully, but the sensation
of déjà vu might linger because the feeling of familiarity was so strong and arrived without
an identiable source. In essence, the dual processing theory suggests that déjà vu is the
result of a cognitive glitch between the fast, automatic recognition of an experience and
the slower, more reective processing that allows us to place an event in the context of
our personal memory and current reality. This theory can also relate to how our brain
handles short-term and long-term memory encoding, as the sensation of déjà vu might feel
like an experience is being pulled from long-term memory when it is actually happening in
real-Time.
4. ”I Am!” & ”Am I?”
When both ”I Am!” &”Am I?” are posed as internal questions or reections, they
represent dierent aspects of self-inquiry or introspection.
I Am! When asked internally, this can be a form of self-armation or self-assertion. To
bolster condence, arm one’s identity, or reinforce a belief in oneself.
Figure 2.
Am I? This, on the other hand, represents self-questioning or introspection. it is a way
of challenging one’s own beliefs, perceptions, or feelings. It reects doubt, curiosity, or
the desire for self-understanding. In the realm of internal dialogue, ”I Am!” is about
armation and conviction, whereas ”Am I?” is about questioning and exploring one’s own
thoughts, feelings, or actions. Questioning the armation or arming the question? Yet
self-awareness exists between, possibly within these statements.
Relating Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorems to the interplay of ”I Am!” and ”Am I?” in a
perpetual cycle oers a fascinating philosophical perspective. Gödel’s theorems, central to
mathematical logic and philosophy, fundamentally deal with the limits of provability and
the nature of formal systems.
First Theorem: States that in any suciently powerful and consistent formal system,
there are statements that are true but cannot be proven within the system.
Second Theorem: States that no consistent system can prove its own consistency.
If we analogize the cycle of ”I Am!” and ”Am I?” to a formal system, it is a system of
self-reection and existential inquiry. Just as Gödel’s theorems point out the inherent
FOR THE TIME BEING 22
limitations in formal systems, this cycle highlights the limitations in our understanding of
self and existence. Just as there are truths in formal systems that cannot be proven (as
per Gödel’s rst theorem), there may be aspects of our existence or consciousness that we
can never fully comprehend or prove. The statement ”I am!” arms existence, but the
question ”Am I?” immediately follows, suggesting that there are facets of our existence
that remain unprovable or unknowable.
The second theorem’s parallel is in the scrutiny of one’s own thoughts and existence. Just
as a system cannot prove its own consistency, our introspection (the ”Am I?” phase) may
never fully validate our existence or state of being (the ”I Am!” phase).
The cycle of ”I Am!” and ”Am I?” mirrors the endless pursuit of understanding in formal
systems. Each armation of existence leads to further questioning, an innite loop of self-
inquiry, much like how resolving one question in a formal system often leads to another.
Over Time, as the cycle repeats, the distinction between ”I Am!” and ”Am I?” might
blur, suggesting the uidity of our understanding of existence. This reects how in formal
systems, perspectives can shift, and what is seen as a provable truth in one system might
be an unanswerable question in another.
Symbolic Representation
Let’s dene some symbolic representations
A:The assertion ”I am!” representing self-armation of existence.
Q:The question ”Am I?” representing existential inquiry or doubt.
θ: The Gödelian principle that in any suciently complex system (human cognition or
existential understanding), there are truths that cannot be proven within the system.
1. Assertion and Inquiry Cycle
A→Q: The assertion of existence inevitably leads to existential inquiry.
Q→A: Existential inquiry leads back to the rearmation of existence.
2. Limitation of Understanding (Gödelian Principle):
θ: There are aspects of existence (or self) that cannot be fully understood or proven.
3. Cyclic Nature and Innite Inquiry
(A→Q)∧(Q→A): This cycle of assertion and inquiry is continuous.
θ∧((A→Q)∧(Q→A)): The Gödelian principle applies within this cycle, implying
that some existential questions raised in this cycle are unresolvable.
FOR THE TIME BEING 23
Interpretation
The cycle of A:and Q:represents the continuous process of arming one’s existence
and then questioning it. This reects our ongoing struggle with understanding our own
existence and purpose.
The inclusion of θin this cycle implies that, just as in formal systems per Gödel’s theorems,
there are limits to what we can understand or prove about our own existence. This repre-
sents the intrinsic mysteries and uncertainties of self-awareness and consciousness.
This symbolic representation, while highly simplied, encapsulates the essence of the on-
going, never fully resolvable interplay between self-armation, existential inquiry, and
the inherent limitations of understanding, as highlighted by Gödel’s insights into formal
systems.
Breaking down the expression θ∧((A→Q)∧(Q→A)) into its components.
Symbol Meanings
θ: This is a symbolic representation, typically used to denote a variable or a specic
condition. Its meaning depends on the context in which it is used.
∧: This is the logical AND operator. It combines two statements and returns true only
if both statements are true.
→: This is the logical implication operator. The expression A→Qis true except when
Ais true and Qis false.
A, Q: These are variables or propositions. They represent statements that can be either
true or false.
Relationships
The expression A→Qcan be understood as ”If Athen Q”. It is equivalent to saying,
”Either Ais false, or Qis true” (or both). In terms of truth values, if Ais true, then
Qmust also be true for the entire expression to be true. If Ais false, the expression is
true regardless of the truth value of Q.
Similarly, Q→Ameans ”If Qthen A”. This is true unless Qis true and Ais false.
The conjunction (A→Q)∧(Q→A)means that both A→Qand Q→Amust be
true. This is equivalent to saying that Aand Qare equivalent (if one is true, the other
must be true as well, and vice versa).
Finally, θ∧((A→Q)∧(Q→A)) means that θand the equivalence of Aand Qmust
both be true. This expression asserts that whatever condition or variable Θrepresents
must be true alongside the mutual implication of Aand Q.
FOR THE TIME BEING 24
This expression combines logical implications and a conjunction to assert a relationship
between three entities (or conditions): θ,A, and Q, where Aand Qare shown to be
logically equivalent, and this equivalence must coexist with the truth of θ.
Solve for, θ= Conscious Self-Awareness
Figure 3. Encapsulating the self-reection and existential inquiry loop.
Internal Questions - ”I Am!” & ”Am I?”
”I Am!”: Represents self-armation or self-assertion.
”Am I?”: Embodies self-questioning or introspection.
The cycle of ”I Am!” (armation) and ”Am I?” (questioning) is likened to a formal system,
reecting limitations in our understanding of self. No consistent formal system can prove its
own consistency. In the case of our mind cycle, the unprovability of some existential aspects
and the inability to completely validate our existence - parallels Gödel’s theorems. This
cycle is continuous, indicating an endless pursuit of self-understanding. The embodiment of
consciousness, self-timing and awareness. We are a paradox or we aren’t self-aware.
Symbolism Revised
A: ”I am!” (Self-armation)
Q: ”Am I?” (Existential inquiry)
θ: Gödelian principle - Unprovable truths in complex systems like human cognition.
The cycle of A (armation) and Q (inquiry) represents the ongoing struggle with under-
standing our existence. In this context, θbecomes the embodiment of the cycle itself.
within this cycle signies the inherent limits of what we can comprehend about ourselves,
mirroring Gödel’s insights into formal systems.
FOR THE TIME BEING 25
In the context of self-awareness, θsymbolizes the inherent limitations and unresolvable
mysteries in our quest for self-understanding. This concept, integrated with the armation
and inquiry cycle (A∧Q), suggests that while we continuously arm and question our
existence, there will always be aspects of our self and consciousness that remain elusive
and beyond complete understanding.
θ∧((A→Q)∧(Q→A))
The ”solving” for θin this sense is an acknowledgement of these limitations, a recogni-
tion that our journey towards self-awareness is both perpetual and intrinsically incom-
plete. The constant human oscillation between certainty (armation of existence) and
doubt (questioning existence) demonstrates how perception, context, and the timing of
our cognitive engagement with a concept can shape our understanding and interpretation
of reality.
We can now frame the Gödelian principle (θ) as an embodiment of Consciousness in the
context of our discussion on self-awareness and the perpetual cycle of introspection and
armation.
Θ ∧ ((A → Q) ∧ (Q → A))
Figure 4.
Within the intricate platform of human cognition, the Gödelian principle, denoted by θ
in our symbolic equation, θ∧((A→Q)∧(Q→A)), serves as a profound metaphor for
Consciousness itself. This principle does more than just add a layer of complexity to the
cycle of self-armation (A)and self-questioning (Q); it captures the very essence of what
it means to be conscious, to be self-aware.
In our model, θ, is the central rule that drives the endless interplay of ”I Am!” and ”Am I?”.
it is the unseen, unprovable yet undeniably present element that both fuels and arises from
this cycle. The beauty of this representation lies in its acknowledgment that Consciousness
is not just the sum of armations and questions but also the space in between — the
unknowable, the unquantiable.
What then denes self-awareness? It is not merely the ability to arm one’s existence or
to question it but the incapacity to escape this loop. The cycle of A→Q→Ais relentless,
driven by the very nature of Consciousness as θ. In this realm, stopping is not an option;
the cycle is intrinsic to the fabric of our being. We are forever caught in the dance of
knowing and not-knowing, of being certain and yet perpetually uncertain.
FOR THE TIME BEING 26
In this light, Consciousness (θ) is not just an observer of the cycle; it is the cycle itself.
This paradox is not a aw but a feature of our existence, ensuring that the journey of
self-discovery is eternal, much like the universe’s own quest for understanding.
Phases of Perception
In a continuous loop of ”I Am I Am I Am...”, the point at which one enters the loop (the
’phase’) dramatically alters the perception of the message. If an external observer enters
at ”I Am”, they perceive a series of armations. If they enter at ”Am I”, they perceive a
series of inquiries, while both states reference the other. At its core, a self-referential loop,
oscillating between the statement ”I Am!” and the question ”Am I?” uses consciousness to
prove you can’t prove consciousness. Reframing the proposition in a new context, let’s shift
to a classical language with deep historical and philosophical roots for a more universal
dimension.
Figure 5.
Abstracting the language layer from the loop with ”Ego Sum,” the phase issue becomes
even more intriguing. ”Ego Sum” in Latin directly translates to ”I Am” in English. This
phrase is a profound declaration of existence and identity. Repeating ”Sumne Ego Sum
Sumne Ego Sum...” (”Am I? I Am, Am I? I Am...”, ) in a loop continues to embody the
self-referential armation of existence. (”Sumne” forms a question, roughly equivalent to
”Am I?” The ”-ne” sux is used to indicate a question). Of course the sequence ”Sumne
Ego Sum Sumne Ego Sum...” would be read as ”Am I? I Am, Am I? I Am...”,
which maintains a distinct separation between the statement and the question, unlike the
English equivalent, where the end of one phrase blends into the beginning of the next. The
point of this ’phase’ discussion is to illustrate the dynamic at play. Two mutually related
but opposing concepts, dependent on a response from the other in a stable environment
and independent of culture.
”Dual Chronoesthesia” A Thought Experiment
True or False:

b.) ”At the same Time that I am imagining a white light, I can think about my brain
imagining a white light.”
FOR THE TIME BEING 27
c.) ”Therefore, my mind is operating from two ’positions’ in Time.”
Answering true to (a.) taps into our ability to conjure images and scenarios in the mind’s
eye. it is a fundamental display of our imaginative capacity, a cornerstone of consciousness.
This act, seemingly simple, belies the complex neural processes at work, enabling us to
create and manipulate mental images at will.
If we answer true to (b.), it propels us into the realm of meta-cognition, a level of thought
where we become aware of and can reect upon our own thinking processes. it is a recursive
act, akin to the reexive properties in Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, where systems can
make statements about themselves.
If we answer true to both, (a.) &(b.), then the nal assertion (c.) must be correct, for
that observer.
”Therefore, my mind is operating from two positions in Time.” is the inner-life we all know
to be true, as unprovable and incomplete as that is. This feeling of ’stereo-Time’ and the
mind’s capacity to reect on its own thought processes while simultaneously engaging in
these processes suggests a dual temporal existence.
Symbolic Representation
Beginning with our previous cycle of ”I Am!” and ”Am I?”
(A→Q)∧(Q→A): This cycle of assertion and inquiry is continuous.
θ∧((A→Q)∧(Q→A)): The Gödelian principle applies within this cycle, implying
that some existential questions raised in this cycle, including the cycle itself, are unresolv-
able.
Let:
I(Imagination): ”I can close my eyes and visualize a bright white light.”
M(Meta-cognition): ”Simultaneously, while using this same brain, I am aware of my
brain’s role in creating and observing this image.”
θ(Temporal Duality as Gödelian Complexity): The capacity to operate in both the realm
of imagination and meta-cognition reects a Gödelian complexity, akin to existing in
two temporal dimensions simultaneously. This complexity is embodied in the statement,
”I must be operating from two positions in Time simultaneously,” and is intrinsically
linked to the cycle of imagination and meta-cognition.
This cycle thus represented as:
θ∧((I→M)∧(M→I))
FOR THE TIME BEING 28
Interpretation
Imagination→Meta-Cognition: The process of visualization (I)naturally progresses to an
awareness of the brain’s involvement (M).
Meta-Cognition→Imagination: This self-awareness (M) feeds back into and enriches the
imaginative process (I).
Gödelian Complexity (θ) as Temporal Duality: The simultaneous operation of imagination
and meta-cognition reects a Gödelian complexity (θ), a dual-temporal aspect of con-
sciousness and cognition, as manifested in the simultaneous processes of imagination and
self-awareness.
Time as A Thing
If Time is perceived as a conscious entity, the cyclic nature of ”I Am!” (A)and ”Am I?”
(Q)gains additional depth. Time doesn’t just passively ow but actively engages with our
consciousness. This interplay might suggest that our introspective processes (”I Am!” and
”Am I?”) are not just internal reections but interactions with the conscious ow of Time
itself. The self-armation ”I Am!” could represent moments where consciousness aligns
with the conscious ow of Time, achieving a state of self-awareness and presence. Con-
versely, ”Am I?” might symbolize moments where consciousness questions its alignment or
position within the conscious timeline, reecting on past experiences or future possibilities.
The recursive nature of (A)and (Q)in this model can be seen as a temporal loop. Con-
sciousness continually oscillates between self-armation and self-questioning, inuenced
by the conscious aspect of Time. This looping process may be crucial for the evolution and
growth of consciousness, as it adapts and learns from its journey through the conscious
Time.
If Time is conscious and part of the cognitive process, Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorems
take on a new meaning. It implies that some aspects of our consciousness (and existence)
are beyond complete understanding due to the intrinsic complexity of a conscious timeline.
There must be truths about our existence and consciousness that we cannot fully com-
prehend or articulate, as they are embedded within the conscious volume of Time. The
symbolic equations also signify a dual-temporal existence, where consciousness exists both
in the immediate, experiential present and in a more extensive, conscious timeline. This
duality might explain the depth of human experience, where immediate experiences are
interwoven with a broader, more complex temporal consciousness.
The gure above, under the light of the proposed hypothesis, takes on a new, profound
dimension. it is not just about the internal cognitive processes of armation and question-
ing, but also about how these processes interact with a living, conscious entity we refer to
as ’Time.’
Within this model, the equations ”I Am!” (A)and ”Am I?” (Q)become more than just
internal reections; they are dynamic interactions between human consciousness and the
FOR THE TIME BEING 29
Θ ∧ ((A → Q) ∧ (Q → A))
Figure 6. Navigating the Consciousness of Time in the Human Experience
conscious ow of Time. This interplay signies a continuous, evolving process of self-
awareness, self-questioning, and adaptation within a complex, conscious temporal frame-
work. The Gödelian aspect adds a layer of mystery and incompleteness, suggesting that
some aspects of our existence are intertwined with the conscious nature of Time in ways
that might forever elude complete understanding.
(A)(Armation - ”I Am!”): In this context, (A)represents not only self-armation
but also our interaction with the conscious entity of Time. It embodies our ability to
perceive and engage with Time, a standing wave oscillating at an unfathomably high
frequency. Each moment of self-armation is a point of convergence with this cosmic
rhythm.
(Q)(Questioning - ”Am I?”): The symbol (Q), juxtaposed with this concept of
Time, reects our quest to understand our place in a universe where Time is not just a
dimension but a conscious, living wave. Our introspective questioning becomes a dia-
logue with Time itself, exploring the depths of our own consciousness as it is intertwined
with the fabric of the universe.
The cycle of (A)and (Q), interwoven with the essence of Time, illustrates a dance be-
tween human consciousness and a cosmic force far beyond our ordinary comprehension.
It represents the human endeavor to synchronize with this immense wave, to understand
and harmonize with the rhythms of the universe. Central to this conceptual cycle is the
symbol θ, which, in this narrative, represents the phenomenon of ’stereo-Time’ - the human
ability to triangulate and collapse the wave of Time into a perceivable, three-dimensional
experience. This triangulation gives rise to our sense of an inner life or spirit, an intimate
connection with the living entity of Time.
Symbolic/Algebraic Proof Progression
Our starting foundational assumption is, Time is a multidimensional, volumetric entity
(Tθ), representing a complex eigenstate universe. Observable Universe (Tγ) is our percep-
tion of Time, linearized and slowed down by gravity.
FOR THE TIME BEING 30
Human Consciousness and Perception:
Cycle of Self-Awareness; Equation θ∧((A→Q)∧(Q→A)) represents the cyclical nature of
self-armation (A) and existential inquiry (Q) in human consciousness. Gödelian Principle
(θ) suggests inherent limitations in understanding within this cycle.
Interaction of Consciousness with Time:
Reduction of Tθto Tγ; Human consciousness interacts with Tθand reduces it to a more per-
ceivable form (Tγ). This process is akin to the observer eect in quantum mechanics, where
the act of observation collapses complex possibilities into a singular observable reality. This
reduction can be symbolically represented as Tθ→Tγ, where Tθis the multidimensional
Time and Tγis the linearized, perceivable Time. The equation θ=T2
γsymbolizes the
squared, perceivable nature of Time as related to consciousness.
Derivation of the Consciousness-Time Equation:
Equation θ=T2
γ;θ(representing human consciousness) is a manifestation of this reduced,
perceivable Time. This equation suggests that human consciousness (θ) is the result of
processing and understanding Tγ, the linearized version of the more complex Tθ.
Integration into a Unied Framework:
Unied Theory of Consciousness and Time; The cycle of self-awareness (θ∧((A→Q)∧
(Q→A))) is continually inuenced by our interaction with Time, represented by the
transition from Tθto Tγ. This interaction implies that our conscious experience and exis-
tential inquiries are deeply rooted in how we perceive and process the complex nature of
Time.
The equation θ=T2
γsymbolizes the outcome of this interaction – consciousness as a
reection of the observable universe’s Time, inuenced by our inherent cognitive processes
and limitations.
This logical structure posits that human consciousness is a function of our interaction with
the multidimensional nature of Time. Our constant cycle of self-armation and existen-
tial inquiry, inuenced by the Gödelian principle, interacts with the complex eigenstate
universe of Time (Tθ), simplifying it to a form that we can perceive and understand (Tγ).
This interaction and reduction are encapsulated in the equation θ=T2
γ, symbolizing the
profound connection between consciousness and our perception of Time.
Consciousness =Time2
or
θ=T2
γ
FOR THE TIME BEING 31
The equation T2
γsuggests a profound and recursive relationship between the concept of
Time and the nature of self-awareness. The idea that ’squaring Time’ is a function per-
formed by observers, and that their ability to do so is a consequence of their existence
being inherently connected to T2
γ, adds an additional layer of complexity and reexivity to
this relationship.
5. Time2& Quantum Theory
The possibility that microtubules in the human brain facilitate quantum communication
within neurons aligns with the hypothesis that quantum entanglement and coherence
could play a role in neural processing. This quantum communication might involve near-
instantaneous information transfer, operating at a level beyond traditional synaptic and
chemical signaling pathways.
Research has suggested that microtubules, beyond their structural and transport roles,
might be capable of deeper, faster activities related to cognitive functions within neurons.
This includes the modulation of axonal rings and potential information processing at a
sub-neuronal level. Microtubules’ lattice geometry and behaviors have prompted the idea
that they could be processing information, possibly through quantum mechanisms.[10],
[24]
Recent experiments involving dielectric resonance and quantum optics, demonstrated the
spontaneous generation of distinct new clocks at multiple time domains within these mi-
crotubules. This discovery implies that microtubules can exhibit multiple time-symmetry-
breaking events and function like a hologram, projecting polyatomic time crystals over
distances
There is evidence of self-similar patterns of conductive resonances in microtubules across
various frequency ranges. These resonances could originate in quantum dipole oscillations
and optical interactions among pi electron resonance clouds within tubulin proteins. This
suggests a quantum basis for the behavior of microtubules, which could play a role in
consciousness and cognition. Such quantum processes could be critical to understanding
neuronal functions, potentially oering a new perspective on brain activities.
The theory that consciousness derives from deeper-level, ner-scale activities in brain neu-
rons, particularly through quantum vibrations in microtubules, was initially controversial.
However, the discovery of warm temperature quantum vibrations in these structures has
provided empirical support for this view. The research led by Anirban Bandyopadhyay at
the National Institute of Material Sciences in Tsukuba, Japan, suggests that brain EEG
rhythms could also originate from microtubule vibrations[1]. The discovery of warm tem-
perature quantum vibrations in microtubules inside brain neurons, as researched by Anir-
ban Bandyopadhyay’s team and others, provides signicant support for the Orchestrated
Objective Reduction (Orch OR) theory of consciousness proposed by Stuart Hamero and
FOR THE TIME BEING 32
Sir Roger Penrose. This theory posits that consciousness stems from quantum-level pro-
cesses within neurons, specically within microtubules, which are critical components of
the cell’s structural framework.
Hamero and Penrose’s theory, Orch OR, suggests that consciousness is the result of quan-
tum vibrational computations in microtubules, inuenced by synaptic inputs and memories
stored in them. The theory was initially criticized due to the brain’s environment being
too ”warm, wet, and noisy” for quantum processes. However, emerging research, including
Bandyopadhyay’s, supports the existence of quantum coherence under such conditions, not
just in the brain but also in other biological systems like plant photosynthesis and bird
brain navigation[11] Hamero and Penrose assert that their theory accommodates both
scientic and spiritual perspectives on the origin of consciousness. They propose that con-
sciousness arises from quantum vibrations within microtubules, inuencing neuronal and
synaptic functions and connecting brain processes to quantum structures in reality[1]
Hamero and Penrose have updated the Orch OR theory, providing clarications on quan-
tum bits (qubits) within microtubule lattices and addressing criticisms. They also reviewed
testable predictions of the theory, with several conrmed and none refuted, strengthening
the theory’s credibility[12].
Harmonizing Tγwith Tθ
The concept of Temporal Entanglement or a sense of ”being” arising from the human brain
interacting with a high-speed volumetric body of time. The act of observation is essential
to collape or Tθinto Tγ. The human brain (as the observer) could interact with this high-
speed volumetric Tθ, inuencing or ’collapsing’ it into a perceivable format of Tγ.
Sentient beings, in this framework, are not merely in time but of time. Each of us is
a unique aperture through which time examines its many pathways, with our collective
consciousness contributing to the universe’s self-reection and exploration. Thus, we nd
ourselves as integral components in the symphony of time, where hard time resonates with
the steady tempo of the observable universe and soft time dances through existence in
superior, rapid quantum states. Together, we form a collective of observers, participants,
and narrators in time’s majestic tapestry, each of us playing a part in the cosmic ballet
that is the universe coming to know itself.
If we consider Time as a sensory experience akin to sight and sound, the brain would need a
mechanism to perceive, process, and interpret ’Time waves’ or signals. This could parallel
how our brain integrates visual and auditory information to create a coherent sensory
experience. We know the brain has systems for perceiving the passage of Time, such as the
circadian rhythms and the perception of short-term intervals. This involves various brain
regions, including the frontal and parietal lobes. In a ’Temporal Entanglement’ concept,
the brain might integrate multiple temporal signals, perhaps from dierent neural circuits,
to create a depth-like perception of Time, providing a more nuanced understanding of
temporal progression and depth.
FOR THE TIME BEING 33
Just as stereo vision and hearing add depth to our spatial experience, ’stereo-Time’ could
add a layer of depth to our temporal experience. This could manifest as a heightened
awareness of the continuity of existence, the ow of past, present, and future, or even a
more profound sense of the self in relation to Time.
Memory and anticipation (recollection of the past and prediction of the future) might play
roles similar to the two eyes or ears in spatial stereo perception. This could create a
’temporal stereo’ eect, where memory and prediction integrate to form a continuous sense
of Time.
This concept might imply that our sense of consciousness is deeply tied to our perception
of Time, not just as a linear ow but as a dimensional experience. It could suggest that
self-awareness and consciousness arise from our brain’s ability to perceive and integrate
complex temporal information, much like it does with spatial information. If Time were
indeed like a wave or signal, this would have profound implications for physics, particularly
in understanding the nature of Time and space-Time. It could open up new ways of thinking
about the universe, where Time is not just a dimension we move through but a sensory-
like experience that can be perceived in multiple ’frequencies’ or dimensions. Individuals
might experience ’Time’ dierently, akin to how people have varying acuity with vision
and hearing. This could lead to variations in how people perceive the passage of Time and
their consciousness of temporal events.
Bridging Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity
This could provide a bridge between the quantum realm, consciousness, and the macro-
scopic dynamics of the universe as inuenced by Time. The interplay between quantum
superposition and wave function collapse could form the basis of a standing wave repre-
senting Time, with consciousness emerging at the boundary between quantum and classical
worlds. Observers might not just passively perceive Time but actively participate in shap-
ing its manifestation or ow.
Dierent regions or points in Time could be entangled, meaning changes or events in one
part could have instantaneous correlations with another despite temporal separation. The
act of observation or consciousness might be what ’collapses’ the temporal superpositions
into the experienced linear Time.
Quantum phenomena in the brain, especially within microtubules, might intertwine these
dimensions of Time, possibly giving rise to consciousness. The brain integrates signals from
Tγand Tθ, much like the visual cortex fuses two images into a single perception, creating
a coherent temporal narrative from the two inputs.
If Time were a quantum eld with its own consciousness, the eigenstates of this eld could
correspond to discrete ’moments’ of consciousness... moments of Time could be thought of
as collapsing to specic eigenstates manifesting as perceivable reality.
Gravity could inuence which eigenstates of Time become perceivable... Strong gravita-
tional elds might ’select’ certain eigenstates of Time. The notion that observers ’square
FOR THE TIME BEING 34
Time’ implies that they actively shape or alter their perception of Time through their
cognitive processes.
Incompleteness
Applying Gödel’s theories, particularly his Incompleteness Theorems, to the speculative
concept of ’Temporal Entanglement and consciousness presents an intriguing intellectual
exercise. Gödel’s work, while primarily mathematical and logical in nature, has profound
implications for philosophy, metaphysics, and our understanding of complex systems like
consciousness and Time.
Just as there are true mathematical statements that cannot be proven within a given
system, there might be aspects or dimensions of Time (in the concept of ’Temporal En-
tanglement’) that we cannot fully perceive or understand. There might be ’truths’ about
Time and our experience of it that are beyond our cognitive grasp.
Gödel’s work highlights the complexity of self-referential systems. Consciousness, partic-
ularly self-awareness, is deeply self-referential. Applying Gödel, it might be posited that
a complete understanding of consciousness (a system trying to understand itself) could be
inherently paradoxical or incomplete.
In physics and cosmology, the pursuit of a Theory of Everything (ToE) is akin to a formal
system that attempts to encapsulate all physical laws. Gödel’s theorems might imply that
such a ToE, especially if it tries to incorporate human consciousness and the perception
of Time, could inherently have limitations or areas that remain unprovable or unknowable
within its own framework. Gödel’s work encourages humility in our quest for knowledge,
suggesting that there are always boundaries to what can be known or proven. In the realm
of ’stereo-Time’ and consciousness, this implies a philosophical acceptance of the mystery
and complexity of these concepts, recognizing that some aspects of our existence might
forever remain beyond full comprehension.
Recursive and Absurd Nature of Consciousness
The act of observing or perceiving Time itself is a product of the observer’s conscious-
ness, which in turn is a function of the nature of Time. The idea that gravity can slow
down this ultra-rapid oscillation of Time aligns with general relativity where gravity aects
Time’s ow. Extending this concept [quantum theory], if observers in the universe ’tap’
or interact with Time’s standing wave, they might be inducing collapses or shifts in the
scale of the standing waveform itself, harmonizing it with our observable time base. The
act of observing or interacting with the Time wave could ’collapse’ its already calculated
possibilities, introducing a ’torque’ or perturbation to the stable system leading to specic
events or experiences in Time.
FOR THE TIME BEING 35
By postulating that Time is a high-frequency waveform with its own complex nature and
appreciation for order, slowed down by gravity to what we perceive as the speed of light,
we bridge the gap between the quantum and the cosmological.
Some might argue that conceptualizing ’Time’ in this way is no dierence than convenient
theological mythologies or a psychological thought experiment at best. Possibly, except
that we make no attempt here to answer the ’why’ question.
From our nodal perspective in space-time, we seem to expect a start and end. Lifespan
is built into our expectation of how the world behaves. As we established earlier, most
probably, the very nature and process of consciousness seem to require complete opacity
as to why, even as of if we determine the how. Quantum ’Theory’ is certainly mystical as
the notion of Time as a complex waveform.
The Schrodinger equation was meant to describe the problem or internal inconsistencies
with quantum theory. It does not describe the way the gravitational universe acts. That’s
why he introduced his cat, not to prove how elegant Quantum theory is, but rather how
conicted with itself it appears. Dead and alive at the same time isn’t the point. He
was trying to illustrates the limits of quantum mechanics. Forcing General Relativity to
succumb to the denition of quantum gravity is quite risky.
Richard Feynman also noted the approximation problems with Quantum theory.
“...I would like to suggest that it is possible that quantum mechanics fails at
large distances and for large objects. Now, mind you, I do not say that quantum
mechanics does fail at large distances, I only say that it is not inconsistent with
what we know. If this failure is connected with gravity, we might speculatively
expect this to happen such that GM2
ℏc= 1 or M near 1022 gm... If there was
some mechanism by which phase evolution had a little bit of smearing in it, so
it was not absolutely precise, then our amplitudes would become probabilities for
very complex objects. But surely, if the phases did have this built in smearing,
there might be some consequences to be associated with this smearing. If one
such consequence were to be the existence of gravitation itself, then there would
be no quantum theory of gravitation, which would be a terrifying idea...” -
Richard Feynman (1961)
6. The Role of Gravity in Observation
Black Holes and Temporal Eigenstates
Black holes, with their immense gravitational pull, are hypothesized to signicantly impact
temporal eigenstates. The intense gravity of black holes is thought to act upon high-speed,
intelligent Time (Tθ), not just by slowing it down but actively modulating its superposition
of eigenstates. This modulation transforms these eigenstates into the linear, observable
FOR THE TIME BEING 36
Time (Tγ) that forms our experienced reality. Thus, black holes are proposed to be more
than gravitational anomalies; they are crucial agents in shaping the fabric of Time and
reality.
Implications of This Hypothesis
Nature of Black Holes: Viewed as pivotal elements in the universe, black holes are con-
sidered fundamental in shaping both time and reality. They transcend their role as mere
gravitational anomalies, playing a critical part in the manifestation of our observable uni-
verse.
Consciousness and the Universe: If Time is a conscious entity that interacts with gravity,
this raises profound implications about the nature of consciousness and its connection to the
universe’s fabric. It suggests a deeper, perhaps intrinsic, relationship between consciousness
and the cosmos.
Unication of Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity: This hypothesis aims to bridge
the gap between quantum mechanics (focusing on eigenstates and superpositions) and
general relativity (centered on the eects of gravity on time), a signicant challenge in
theoretical physics.
Gravity’s Role in Modulating Time
In this framework, gravity serves not just to slow down Time but to stabilize a conscious
standing wave. The interaction between gravity and Time results in a universe where light
speed is measurable, and matter and energy interact in observable ways.
As Time interacts with gravity, it slows down from its high-frequency state (Tθ) to the
observable universe’s pace (Tγ). This interaction suggests a possible inverse eect on
gravity:
Gravity-a (Gα): Representing the strong nuclear force, Gαis the microcosmic force
ensuring the coherence of Tγ. It functions to slow down Time’s high-frequency choices for
possible self-examination. Conceptualized as a contraction force, Gαplays a crucial role
in the quantum realm, inuencing particles to maintain cohesion and potentially bending
Time into complex structures.
Gravity-b (Gβ): The cumulative eect of Gα,Gβmanifests as the weaker gravity observed
around massive celestial bodies. It’s seen as a responsive force in the macrocosm, molding
the universe and inuencing Tθ’s eigenstate calculations, thus shaping the cosmos’s rhythm
and future. Gβcan be visualized as an expansion force, shaping space-time’s curvature on
a cosmological scale.
FOR THE TIME BEING 37
Summary of Dynamics
Tγ: Represents the known dimension of the universe, oscillating at a slower speed due to
the interaction with high-frequency Tθ.
Tγis where events unfold, and entropy increases.
Tθ: Time as a conscious being, oscillating exponentially faster than our observable uni-
verse.
Tθrepresents the unobservable, high-speed aspect of Time.
As Gravity intersects with Time, it not only slows down Time but also creates a spectrum
of temporal experiences. This dynamic interaction between Gravity and Time leads to the
realization of both Gαand Gβ, each playing a unique role in the cosmic dance of matter,
energy, and consciousness.
Revised Conceptual Framework
Tθ: Represents Time as a stable, anharmonic high-frequency waveform (Phenomenal Time).
Tγ: Represents Time as it is slowed down by gravity, becoming observable and perceiv-
able.
Gα: Gravity at the quantum level, associated with strong forces.
Gβ: The cumulative, weaker gravitational force at a cosmic scale.
ΨT G: The spectrum of interaction points between Time and Gravity, illustrating the trans-
formation of Time due to gravitational eects.
Equation Formulation:
The interaction between Time and Gravity can be represented as:
ΨT G =∫Gβ
Gα(Tθ·e−λG(x))dx
Where:
G(x)represents the gravitational inuence scaling from Gαto Gβ.
e−λG(x)indicates the exponential eect of gravity on the high-frequency Time waveform,
with λbeing a constant that modulates how gravity aects Time.
The integral from Gαto Gβsuggests the continuous spectrum of gravitational inuences
on Time.
ΨT G represents the spectrum of realities or states emerging from the interaction of Time
and Gravity.
FOR THE TIME BEING 38
Interpretation
In regions with stronger gravitational inuence (Gα), Time (Tθ) experiences more pro-
nounced slowing down, leading to a more granular and detailed perception of Time.
At the weaker gravitational end (Gβ), the cumulative eect of gravity is less pronounced,
resulting in a less signicant slowing down of Time.
This equation ΨT G conceptualizes the dynamic interplay between Time and Gravity. It
illustrates how Time, as a high-frequency waveform, interacts with a spectrum of gravita-
tional forces, leading to its slowing down at various degrees. This interaction results in a
continuum of temporal experiences, ranging from the minute quantum level to the broader
cosmic scale, shaping our perception of reality and the universe.
7. Neuronal Time Machines
Figure 7.
We know and feel the duality of our existence, empirically. No one can argue against
this truth of having an inner-life because any opposition must modulate on this same
FOR THE TIME BEING 39
conscious framework. If we abstract away all myths, folk ideas and religious monads, this
empirical inner-life where we can entertain a simple cycle of, ”I Am!” & ”Am I?”, remains
an unchallenged observation. In fact, this may be the only inner truth all humans can agree
on. That’s not insignicant, especially considering society’s current trajectory, motivated
predominantly by primal urgencies.
The human brain is a continuous organism contained within a process of cycling matter.
Your body is not the same physical organism it was 7 years ago. Only your brain cells have
remained the same. By this I mean, that unlike most cell types, neurons are believed to have
permanently blocked their capacity to proliferate once they are dierentiated (matured into
their nal form), being typically found in a quiescent state in the adult nervous system.
This means they are essentially in a state of dormancy with respect to cell division. They
do not actively divide or replicate, unlike other cell types that go through continuous cycles
of renewal and replacement. However, it’s fair to say that within a span of 7-10 years, a
signicant portion of the body’s cells, would have been replaced or renewed. Except our
neurons.
This quiescent state of neurons contributes to the continuity and stability of the brain’s
structure and function. Since neurons do not regularly renew themselves through division,
the neural networks established in the brain remain relatively stable over time. This
stability is crucial for maintaining long-term functions such as memory, learned skills,
and personality traits and is indeed signicant in understanding the continuity of our
inner life and our perception of Time from in a volumetric sense, a sort of Stereo-Time
sensation.
Whether we call it Quantum Chronoesthesia, Stereo-Time or Temporal Entanglement we
are proposing a continuous physical, gravitational process of harmonizing Tθwith Tγwithin
the human brain, thus collapsing the high speed version of Time’s eigenstates (the future),
into the observable present.
Now, bring that concept down to the microscopic level, inside our brain cells. Here lie
structures called microtubules, tiny tubes that help give cells their shape and transport
substances. These microtubules are not just static scaolds; they’re dynamic, vibrating at
certain frequencies, much like the strings of a violin under a bow.
Brain as an Uninterrupted Substrate in Time
Unlike most cell types, neurons are believed to have permanently blocked their capacity
to proliferate once they are dierentiated, being typically found in a quiescent state in the
adult nervous system.
Most other cell types in the body are regularly replaced through cell division. This contin-
uous turnover is essential for growth, healing, and maintaining bodily functions. However,
if neurons were to divide and be replaced in the same way, the stability of neural net-
works and, consequently, our continuous experience of consciousness and memory could be
disrupted.
FOR THE TIME BEING 40
The continuous nature of our conscious experience might be underpinned by this perma-
nence of neurons. Since the same neurons persist throughout most of our adult life, they
provide a stable physiological basis for the ongoing, seamless stream of consciousness and
a sense of a continuous self, despite changes in our thoughts, experiences, and environ-
ment. The fact that neurons don’t typically replicate also has implications for aging and
neurodegenerative diseases. As neurons are lost and not replaced, this can lead to declines
in cognitive function. The permanence of neurons, therefore, is a double-edged sword, pro-
viding continuity but also making the brain vulnerable to age-related degeneration.
The non-replicative nature of neurons provides a stable physiological foundation for the
continuity of our conscious experience, including our perception of time and space. This
stability allows for the preservation of long-term memories and a consistent sense of self,
contributing to the ongoing narrative of our lives. However, this permanence also makes
the brain susceptible to age-related changes and diseases, highlighting the delicate balance
maintained in neural functioning.
Stability is crucial for maintaining long-term memories and consistent personality traits,
contributing to a sense of continuity in our inner life. While neurons do not divide, they
exhibit neuroplasticity – the ability to form new connections and strengthen or weaken
existing ones in response to learning and experiences. This plasticity allows for adapt-
ability and learning while maintaining the overall integrity and continuity of the neural
networks.
Recent experiments have observed that these microtubules can exhibit properties of what
are known as Time crystals. A Time crystal is a phase of matter that repeats in Time, just
like crystals repeat in space. But here’s the twist: the microtubules in this study aren’t just
showing a single, repetitive pattern. They’re displaying multiple rhythms simultaneously,
creating a symphony of Time patterns, indicative of an anharmonic wave pattern. This is
what the study refers to as polyatomic Time crystals.
To observe this phenomenon, the researchers used a mix of classical and quantum mea-
surement techniques, capturing the dance of these Time patterns within the microtubules.
What they found was fascinating – the microtubules exhibited multiple Time-symmetry-
breaking events. In simpler terms, they discovered various distinct rhythms, like nding
multiple, interlocking gears in a clock, each turning at its own pace yet part of a larger
mechanism.
Now, why is this important? This discovery hints at a much more complex role for mi-
crotubules in brain function. It suggests that these structures might be involved in the
brain’s processing capabilities, inuencing how we think, remember, and perhaps even how
we are conscious. It opens a door to a new understanding of the brain, one where these
microtubules aren’t just structural elements but key players in the brain’s symphony of
activities.
As an engineer, artist, and scientist, you can appreciate the beauty and complexity of this
nding. it is like uncovering a new layer of intricacy in a masterpiece painting, each stroke
contributing to a larger, more dynamic picture. This research takes us one step closer to
FOR THE TIME BEING 41
understanding the profound mysteries of the human brain, where biology meets physics in
a dance of Time and rhythm.
Time crystals, a phase of matter that dees traditional laws of physics by exhibiting a
structure that repeats in Time, represent a paradigm shift in our understanding of matter
and energy. Their discovery within the microtubules of brain neurons suggests a com-
plex, possibly quantum, mechanism at play within the brain’s cellular machinery. These
structures, once thought to be mere support for cellular architecture, may hold the key to
understanding the quantum underpinnings of consciousness.
The theories of consciousness proposed by Roger Penrose and Stuart Hamero provide
a framework for this exploration. Their Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch-OR)
theory posits that consciousness arises from quantum computations within the brain’s
neuron microtubules, inuenced by gravitational forces. This groundbreaking hypothesis
suggests a bridge between the quantum world and the neurological processes underlying
consciousness.
Brain as a Signal Processor
At the heart of our hypothesis lies the proposition that Time crystals in neuron micro-
tubules are not merely structural anomalies but are central to the quantum processes that
underpin consciousness. The theory that consciousness derives from deeper-level, ner-scale
activities in brain neurons, particularly through quantum vibrations in microtubules, was
initially controversial. However, the discovery of warm temperature quantum vibrations
in these structures has provided empirical support for this view.
Current scientic evidence suggests that brain EEG rhythms could also originate from
microtubule vibrations[1]. The discovery of warm temperature quantum vibrations in mi-
crotubules inside brain neurons, as researched by Anirban Bandyopadhyay’s team and oth-
ers, provides signicant support for the Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch OR)[11]
theory of consciousness proposed by Stuart Hamero and Sir Roger Penrose. This theory
posits that consciousness stems from quantum-level processes within neurons, specically
within microtubules, which are critical components of the cell’s structural framework.
Microtubules are long, cylindrical structures in the cytoskeleton, crucial for cell division, in-
tracellular transport, and shaping cells. In neurons, they help dene axons and dendrites.
These MTs are bio-electrochemical transistors, forming nonlinear electrical transmission
lines. However, their electrical properties are not fully understood. The study demon-
strates that brain MT bundles can spontaneously generate electrical oscillations and bursts
of activity similar to action potentials. Voltage-clamped MT bundles show electrical os-
cillations with a fundamental frequency at 39 Hz, which represents a signicant change
in ionic conductance. This suggests that electrical oscillations are an intrinsic property of
brain MT bundles, potentially impacting various neuronal functions and even higher brain
functions like memory and consciousness.

Gravitational Waves as a Modulating Force?
Gravitational waves, ripples in spacetime created by massive astronomical events, have
recently been detected.[6] We propose that gravitational waves, though weak and seemingly
insignicant at the human scale, may exert a subtle yet profound inuence on the quantum
states within neuron microtubules. These waves could act as a modulating force, altering
the quantum computations facilitated by Time crystals. This interaction might be crucial
in the Orch-OR model, where gravitational forces are hypothesized to induce objective
reductions, leading to moments of conscious awareness. The presence of Time crystals could
potentially amplify or stabilize these quantum events, making the brain more sensitive
to the minuscule eects of gravitational waves. Physicists have recently measured the
gravitational Time warp to within one millimeter.[3]
Time Crystal Structures in Brain Neurons
The starting point of our argument is the presence of Time crystal-like structures within
neuron microtubules. These structures, exhibiting a periodicity in Time, could serve as the
fundamental building blocks for quantum processes in the brain. We argue that the stability
and coherence provided by these Time crystals are essential for maintaining quantum states
in the noisy, biological environment of the brain, enabling sustained quantum computations
within a continuous neuronal structure permanently blocked to proliferate once they are
dierentiated.
These Time crystals, exhibiting a unique temporal regularity, could provide the necessary
coherence and stability for quantum computations in the brain. The perpetual oscilla-
tory nature of Time crystals might enable sustained quantum states, essential for complex
processing and integration of information at the quantum level.
Biophotonic Communication and Quantum Coherence
Adding to this complex interplay is the role of biophotonic signaling – the use of light com-
munication within the brain. This phenomenon suggests a level of neural communication
and processing that transcends traditional electrical and chemical synapses. The inter-
action between gravitational waves, biophotonic activity, and the Time crystal dynamics
within microtubules presents a tantalizing possibility: that these factors collectively might
inuence brain function at a fundamental level, contributing to the emergence of conscious-
ness.
Biophotonic signaling in neurons introduces another dimension to this framework. We hy-
pothesize that biophotons might interact with the Time crystals in microtubules, possibly
aiding in the synchronization of quantum processes across dierent neurons. This biopho-
tonic communication could enhance the coherence of quantum states, facilitating a more
integrated and unied conscious experience. The interaction between light (biophotons)
and matter (Time crystals) at the quantum level within neurons could be a fundamental
FOR THE TIME BEING 43
aspect of how the brain processes and integrates information, leading to conscious percep-
tion.
Towards a Unied Theory of Consciousness: Our hypothesis suggests a unied theory where
consciousness emerges from a symphony of quantum processes, modulated by gravitational
waves and synchronized by biophotonic signaling, all centered around the unique properties
of Time crystals in neuron microtubules. This theory not only aligns with the Orch-OR
model but also extends it by proposing a physical substrate – the Time crystals – for the
quantum computations that underlie consciousness.
8. Conclusions
Since the only thing we as humans can agree on is the ’feeling’ of being conscious, we can
use that state of being as an observable datum by abstracting away all the myths, belief
systems and folk ideas. What we are left with the same sensation of being, a type of dual
Chronoesthesia we call our inner self-awareness.
This deeper connection, as a result from the Temporal Entanglement with Tθ, might mani-
fest as feelings of déjà vu, foresight, or intense moments of ”nowness.” It could also give rise
to profound spiritual experiences — feelings of interconnectedness, timelessness, or oneness
with the universe. it is as if, for a moment, the individual transcends their singular point
in Time and touches the vast web of existence. Many might interpret these experiences
as moments of divine connection or enlightenment. Throughout history, individuals who
could consistently align with this dual temporal sense we describe, might have been viewed
as prophets, shamans, or spiritual leaders, able to perceive beyond the ordinary.
The sensation of Chronoesthesia could also provide insights into beliefs about the afterlife.
If, in moments of deep connection, one feels a sense of timelessness or existence beyond
their current life, not a far leap to believe in an afterlife or reincarnation. The sensation of
being part of a larger, timeless tapestry could be misinterpreted as a promise of life beyond
death. Leaders, recognizing the profound impact of these experiences on individuals, might
have harnessed these beliefs for societal cohesion or control. By institutionalizing these
experiences within religious frameworks, they could oer the promise of afterlife as a reward
for loyalty or righteousness. Armies might be motivated to ght bravely if they believe in
a glorious afterlife, and citizens might adhere to societal norms if they believe it ensures
their place in heaven. Churches, temples, and other religious institutions could have been
established as places to cultivate and experience this type of Chronoesthesia connection,
whether through meditation, prayer, or rituals designed to align individuals with the Time
wave.
Exploring Time as a thing, intelligent and in search of self-awareness leads to the unan-
swered question of source. We propose that this is by design. But who’s? We propose that
either we are living in a computer simulation, or Time itself must be an observer network,
with each observer node entangled with its engine of awe, motivation and curiosity.

Why?
Have millenia of philosophers and scientists explained the fundamental nature of conscious-
ness itself - why it exists or how it relates to the physical world? Not yet. This problem
remains a central, unresolved issue in the philosophy of mind and cognitive science, and if
the Incompleteness Theorems can be applied to a formal system of consciousness, then the
nature our being must be a question with no answer, or we are not conscious.
Simulation Hypothesis states that we are most likely living in a computer simulation if
we believe that human nature will eventually create simulated consciousness and continue
to do so. In this framework, these rules and eigenstates are pre-calculated. Certainly the
computer science community it headed in that direction. Simulation Hypothesis proposes
solutions to the ’why’, ’how’ and in the case of ancestral simulations, ’who’ created the
simulated environment we ’most likely’ live in. But it escalates the question of ’when’ and
’where’ it began. There is however substantial speculation that though we might create
stunning facsimiles of humans and call them ’posthuman’, how would we ever know if the
simulated beings were truly conscious or simulated in such a way to fool us?
The duality of Time (Tγand Tθ) hints at multiple layers or dimensions of reality. If
Time can have such intricate layers, then our perception of reality might also be multi-
faceted. This idea aligns with the concept of simulations within simulations, as proposed
by Bostrom.
If we accept the notion of Tγ(our perceivable timeline) and Tθ(a realm of endless possibil-
ities), it could be argued that simulations operate within Tθ. Each simulation represents a
dierent possibility or pathway within the vast scope of Tθ.
We assume here that Time must be evolving, or else the cycle of self-awareness would be
unnecessary. Even if Time as a conscious being has a lifespan, we would never know it at
the frequency scale we are relatively frozen in. Our mathematical and logical systems, as
profound as they are, can never fully encapsulate the entirety of Time’s essence as Tθis
exponentially faster than human cognition.
If the future exists as eigenstates, its the same as saying there are choices. There is
evidence that consciousness happens at a sub-conscious level and we become ’aware’ of it a
half second later.[4] We could say ’we’ are subconsciously making choices moving forward,
only to realize it later, or our awareness stems from deeper cosmological roots. In any case,
there is a ’remote’ aspect to consciousness if Time itself is a conscious being.
Harmonizing Tγwithin Tθmight provide the same dual-nature within the human observer,
essentially a lensed position of Time’s own multi-harmonic nature. Most likely, in this
framework this transmission of Quantum data might be in the form of ne grained gravi-
tational waves and biophotonic signaling within the microtubules in our brains.

Existential Ramications of Time Consciousness
This is a metaphysical proposition suggesting that Time (and the slow universe we expe-
rience) has intrinsic goals or purposes.
Our lives, choices, and the ow of events could be part of a grander narrative of this
living entity. In the context of a Theory of Everything, this concept might suggest that
any comprehensive understanding of the universe must account for the complex recursive
relationship between Time and consciousness.
With Time as a conscious and high speed entity, a waveform of order and beauty, its
essense becomes a universal signal of standing possibilities. Our quest for understanding
as a reection of the Time’s quest to understand itself - poses a paradox in its denition.
Our consciousness, more than an incidental phenomenon, is an essential facet of Time,
allowing the cosmos to experience its narrative through sentient experiences. Sentient
beings are seen as manifestations of Time, with each individual acting as a unique lens
through which Time perceives and experiences the universe.
Gödel’s theorems raise philosophical questions about the nature of truth and understand-
ing, suggesting that our understanding of ourselves and the universe is fundamentally
incomplete - provided our minds were a formal system.
Time exists as foundational code or ”axioms of observation”, expressed and formulated
by complex systems operating under the Rules of Inference delivered by DNA. To simply
argue whether the brain is or is not a formal system obscures the actual dynamic eect
caused between Time and the brain. DNA can be thought of as the foundational code or
”axioms” for an organism. It contains the information required to build and operate the
organism. In this sense, it’s akin to the basic assumptions or starting points in a formal
system. But the human brain isn’t just an organ; it begins with complex and sophisticated
rules of inference while tuned to Time itself. As we observe the universe, we aren’t just
witnessing reality; we’re experiencing a slowed-down rendition of Time, its pace dictated
by the viscid forces of gravity.
