TWZ is a classic hotcake stack of easy climbing, mostly 5. She persistently jumar-ed her way to the top and was in physical therapy for months after. A few rappels are exactly 30m, so our 65m rope was just enough. We made sure to tie knots in the end of the rope. On a separate descent, my friends watched from below as I wrestled with a palm tree. I actually had an internal conflict doing something considered dangerous, while I mentor with youth.
I was even skeptical we would go fast, until our planned two-day test run. On the test run, we checked the weather, talked logistics and prepared for the worst — rain, dehydration, darkness, other parties.
Capable friends knew where we were. We simul-ed up with heavy packs to the ledge, pitched camp, read a bit, napped about an hour, and watched the clouds pass. Then since the weather looked good, we decide to check out the rest of the route, and topped our two-day test run in 5 hours.

Through a process of collapse of the wave I went further and actually graphed the first order of difference of the hexagrams, seeking again time ordering principle.
History is an anomaly. History is a complete fluke. It is the platform from which we will launch the collective soul of our species out into the higher life of the galaxy.
So earth is the platform, and psychedelic substances, human machine interphasing, nanotechnology, quantum-distribution of information are the means. We are on the brink of possibilities that will make us literally unrecognizable to ourselves.
And those possibilities will be realized not in the next thousand years but in time next 20 years, because the acceleration of invention and novelty and information transfer is at this point so rapid. Timewave Zero is an exploratory idea system and a software package that runs on personal computers. It is the broadcast output of the naturally superconducting experimental deoxyribonucleic matrix transceiver operating in hyperspace.
A model of time must give hope and overcome entropy in its formal composition. In other words, it must mathematically secure the reasonableness of hope. This theory, and indeed the mathematical theory of dynamic systems in general, does this by securing in a formal manner the process by which transformation can naturally arise and persist out of a background of flux. It becomes increasingly clear that we are now experiencing a period marked with extreme density of novel ingressions, a time when the rational and acausal tendencies inherent in time may again reverse their positions of dominance.
If the wave model is a valid general theory of time, it should be possible to show why certain periods or places have been particularly rich in events that accelerate the creative advance into novelty. It should also show where and when in the future such events might be expected to recur. To carry out this operation, a personal computer has proven indispensable.
A group of programs implementing these ideas has been written by Peter Meyer. The program is called Timewave Zero. The software takes these theories and discoveries concerning the I Ching and creates time maps based upon them.
The time maps, or novelty maps, show the ebb and flow of connectedness, or novelty, in any span of time from a few days to tens of millennia. The theory is not deterministic; it does not say what will happen in the future, it only predicts the level of novelty that whatever happens will have to fulfill. As such, it operates as a map, or simplified picture, of the future and past behavior of whatever system is being studied. The end date is the point of maximized novelty in the system, and is the only point in the entire wave that has a quantified value of zero.
December 21, A. We arrived at this particular end date without knowledge of the Mayan Calendar, and it was only after we noticed that the historical data seemed to fit best with the wave if this end date was chosen that we were informed that the end date that we had deduced was in fact the end of the Mayan calendar.
In all the novelty maps, when the graph tine moves downward, novelty is assumed to be increasing. When there is movement away from the base line, novelty is assumed to be decreasing in favor of habitual forms of activity. Time is seen as the ebb and flow of two opposed qualities: novelty versus habit, or density of connectedness versus disorder. In this we see clearly that one trend toward greater novelty reached its culmination around B. At that time, around the time of the consolidation of Mycenaean sea power, the tendency toward habituation was overcome and replaced by a long cascade into greater and greater novelty, which reaches its culmination early in the twenty-first century.
The career of novelty is revealed to be a process that is punctuated by subprocesses. These mitigate, modify, and influence an overall general tendency toward greater and greater novelty. The theory of time that is implied by the Timewave is a theory of time as a fractal, or self-similar, wave. So, for example, when we look at events of the years leading up to the Mayan calendrical termination, we see that the graph is topologically similar to the graph that we have said applied to the past several thousand years.
My interpretation of this is that it means that shorter duration subsets of the fractal curve of time are microversions of the larger pattern in which they are embedded. Such an idea lays the basis for understanding such phenomena as fads, fashion, and the occasional wave of historical obsession that characterize society. Imagine zeroing in on the point in which the wave passes out of the past and into the future. The stupendous idea of an end of time is an attempt to negate the eternal stasis, to break the circle.
All peoples who have awakened to the suffering and hope of the condition humaine have arrived at this idea, each in its own way. The other peoples who have created a world for them selves have also appointed an end to it: Indians, Persians, Greeks, Arabs, and Jews. This final time revolutionizes the course of the world. Like this myth, all ideas of salvation, enlightenment, or utopia may be taken to be expressions in consciousness of the drive of energy to free itself from the limitations of three dimensional space and return to the uncontaminated essence of itself in an epoch of realized concrescent satisfactions.
Concrescent satisfaction includes the notion of energy unbounded by space or time. This means, for our theory, that at especially low-value regions of the modular wave-hierarchy a quantum jump should occur in the concrescent process. The many magnitudes of duration in which the levels of the modular hierarchy of waves can be supposed to be operable exceed, at both ends of the scale, any physical processes known to occur.
Language and its appearance is a recent instance of concrescence. It is a recent form of novelty, having been in existence not more than a million years. As a concrescence occurring in our species, it may provide a clue to the path that evolving human, novelty will take in the future. Following the acquisition of language, the advance into novelty, now in part self reflecting, continued on a higher level. The most recent of these major new levels of coordinated organization may be embodied In the epoch of electronic communications and the furiously evolving postrelativistic consciousness of the twentieth century.
Language is the embodiment of meaning. Meaning signifies organization, and there is no organization without purpose. What is the purpose of organization? Is it perhaps to retard entropy? In such a case, the meaning of meaning for that which apprehends meaning is the necessity to purposefully create and maintain order.
The great puzzle in the biological record is the suddenness of human emergence out of the primate line. It happened with enormous suddenness. Lumlholtz calls it the most explosive reorganization of a major organ of a higher animal in the entire fossil record. All of biology is, in a sense, a conquest of dimensionality. So, the progress of organic life is deeper and deeper into dimensional conquest.
From that point of view , the shaman begins to look like the advance guard of a new kind of human being, a human being that is as advanced over where we are as we are advanced over people a million years ago. Biology constantly changes the context in which evolution occurs. Upon complex molecules are built complex polymers. Upon complex polymers comes DNA. Out of DNA comes the whole machinery of the cell.
Out of cells come simple aggregate colony animals like hydra and that sort of thing. Out of that, true animals. Out of that, ever more complex animals with organs of locomotion, organs of sight, organs of smell, and complex mental machinery for the coordinating of data in time and space. This is the whole story of the advancement of life.
In our species it reaches its culmination and crosses over into a new domain where change no longer occurs in the atomic and biological machinery of existence; it begins to take place in the world that we call mental.
The universe is not being pushed from behind. The universe is being pulled from the future toward a goal that is as inevitable as a marble reaching the bottom of a bowl when you release it up near the rim.
If you do that, you know the marble will roll down the side of the bowl down, down, down—until eventually it comes to rest at the lowest energy state, which is the bottom of the bowl. He was instructed in certain transformations of numbers derived from the King Wen Sequence of I Ching Hexagrams, leading eventually to a rigorous mathematical description of the timewave.
This correlates time and history with the ebb and flow of novelty, which is intrinsic to the structure of time and hence of the temporal universe. At a certain point a singularily is reached which is the end of history - or at least is a transition to a supra-historical order.
This point is usually taken to be December 21, The primary function of the software is to display any portion or the timewave up to seven billion years as a graph of the timewave related to the Western calendar either Gregorian or Julian. You can display the wave for the entire 4. A remarkable quality of the timewave is that it is a fractal.
Once a part of the wave is displayed the the software allows you to expand any smaller part down to 92 minutes. This usually reveals a complexity of structure which persists however much the wave is magnified, a property typical of fractals. The documentation describes the origin, construction and philosophical significance of the timewave, the use of the software, the mathematical definition or the timewave with proofs of some related mathematical theorems and certain curious numerical properties.
Resonantly we are in at the end of the period known historically as the Dark Ages and will soon be reliving the Middle Ages. The software permits graphical display of different regions of the timewave that are in resonance with each other.
This allows the period - to be interpreted as a resonance of the period BC - CE. EXE accepts two dates, assumes that the later date is the first lower major resonance of the earlier date and calculates the zero date required for this assumption to be true.
The Gregorian calendar is assumed unless a calendar is given, e. The program allows multiple entry of pairs of dates, in which case, upon exit, it displays the average of the zero dates calculated. For example, consider the dates of two famous assassinations, that of Julius Caesar, on or close to March 14, 44 B. Kennedy on November 22, It is plausible to view these events as related resonantly, since both were assassinations of political leaders who had a major influence on the society of their time.
In other words, each of these two assassinations were the first major resonance of the other if and only if the zero date is September 28, Thus, in addition to assuming a zero date of December 21, , and checking to see whether dates which are major resonances with respect to this zero date seem also to be related historically, it is possible to search for pairs of events which appear to be historical resonances and calculate which zero dates they imply.
EXE which allows you to relate any point on the timewave to a set of I Ching hexagrams. It is most easily used when running the Timewave Zero program. Select the target date that you are interested in using the 'C' option. Select the 'R' option to exit temporarily from the program to the DOS command line.
You will see displayed the date of interest and the number of days to the zero date which corresponds to this date. The ICHING program will then display from one to seven hexagram numbers for each day, together with their names, and for each one a moving line.
Dates which are further away from the zero date that is, further back in time tend to have more hexagrams associated with them. For example:. The theory underlying this mapping of a point on the wave into a set of hexagrams is as follows: There are several levels of cycles of time which are recognized in the theory of Timewave Zero.
Since a day is taken to correspond to one line of a hexagram, the shortest cycle is that of six days. Each longer cycle is obtained by multiplying the duration of the current cycle by 64, so we have:.
Level Cycle 1 6 days 2 days 3 Consider any number d of days prior to the zero point. If the zero point has been specified, e. Consider now the 6-day cycles at Level 1. The point d will fall in one of these 6-day cycles. If it occurs at the boundary of two cycles e. Number the 6-day cycles 0, 1, 2, After the 64th cycle, numbered 63, we continue with 64, 65, Suppose d falls into cycle n1. Similarly with each larger cycle.
At Level 1 we consider the day cycles, and number them 0, 1, 2, We can continue for each of the larger cycles. Thus the point d maps into a sequence of hexagram numbers n1, n2, n3, Since there is no point in considering all the trailing 1s, we consider only the finite set n1, Thus, given that the zero point has been specified, a finite set of I Ching hexagrams is associated by the ICHING program with any given date prior to the zero date. This led eventually to a rigorous mathematical description of what Terence calls the timewave, which correlates time and history with the ebb and flow of novelty , which is intrinsic to the structure of time and hence of the temporal universe.
A peculiarity of this correlation is that at a certain point a singularity is reached which is the end of history-or at least is a transition to a suprahistorical order in which our ordinary conceptions of our world will be radically transformed. The best current estimate for the date of this point is December 21, CE [common era], the winter solstice of that year and also the end of the current era in the Mayan calendar. The primary function of the software is to display any portion of the timewave up to seven billion years as a graph of the timewave related to the Western calendar either Gregorian or Julian.
You can display the wave for the entire 4. The software provides several ways of manipulating the wave display, including the ability to zoom in on a target date or to step back to get the larger picture.
A remarkable quality of the timewave is that it is a fractal. Once a part of the wave is displayed the software allows you to expand any smaller part down to 92 minutes. This usually reveals a complexity of structure which persists however much the wave is magnified, a property typical of fractals.
The idea that time has a fractal structure in contrast to the Newtonian conception of time as pure, unstructured duration is a major departure from the common view of the nature of time and physical reality. That time is a fractal may be the reason why fractals occur in Nature. I knew I had ruptured a pulley immediately. With tears in my eyes I instantly realized that the Red season was shot, and Time Wave Zero was practically impossible.
I sent out some feelers to see if I could arrange a replacement partner for Ilya so he could still go on our long-awaited trip.
In pain and heartbroken, I moped about my place, sad and frustrated, doing the best I could to rehab my finger with ice, heat, stress balls, and rice. After mourning for two weeks, I got my mind dead set on healing in time to make the trip to Potrero. For the next month I worked through my rehab every day, after which I had recovered enough to climb. Being the climbing training nerd that I am, I built a training plan for myself and my climbing partner Ilya, then bought my ticket to Mexico.
At this point, I was all in. The plan was focused on stamina and finger strength: stamina for tons of easy to moderate pitches, and finger strength for hard vertical face climbing at the end of Time Wave. The first few weeks were excruciating mentally. I was getting pumped on 5. My gains were much slower than in the past, and not being able to do what I once could was haunting me and making me doubt that I could get my fitness back in time for Time Wave Zero. Thanks Ilya! After taking stock, I decided to focus on training as hard as I could safely and let the results present themselves as my body was ready.
Hangboard session after hangboard session, I pushed through. Believing in what is possible and knowing the results that training provides kept me going.
