Cycles occur in all things. They are a basic property of mathematics and nature. Cycles allow the appearance of movement from purely mathematical relationships between manifest concepts. Time as we experience it is not a single cycle but it is the result of many cycles superimposing themselves on the moment. To understand this we need to see that nature is not just a pattern of explicit movement of matter and energy; it is an implicit story unfolding in which the past and the future run with drama, games, personal and group transactions, emotions and thoughts. All these aspects and many more contribute to the setting up of the next moment. The diagram below illustrates a particular view of time as a circle. Present (finite) time, the idea of now is an aspect of the zero point. The circle is an entire gamut of now's stretching out to infinity which has the quality of 'eternal nowness'. All time is happening now like a series of static frames. So what decides the present moment? I believe the answer to that is consciousness. I see space-time as a recording being run and navigated by individual choice and attitude. Only in our perception of time (the straight line at the base of the circle) do we imagine the past to be gone and the future to be totally unformed beyond the next moment. The important idea here is that time is a sequence of static moments that reflect a particular aspect of eternity/infinity (directly opposite at the top of the circle). The question is what happens 'between' these pulses? The key here is to imagine that we have a component of consciousness at the centre of the circle that sees all time layed out. Time and space are inextricably linked with the idea of being finite because each part is defined by the whole and the state of the whole depends on each part. The answer must be that the entire universe turns inside out and collapses to a single point at the top of the cycle (at infinity) and then turns inside out again and pops back into a spatial-temporal distribution around the centre of each conceptual entity or physical object around its zero point (at the base of the circle). This is why connectivity and entanglement are able to function apparently between distant locations and bypass the limiting speed of light or universal pulse. The phase of the cycle when everything becomes co-existent is when each physical article or entity establishes its relationship with all things. Entanglements are the result of abstract relationships working out, when twin particles and twinned siblings, etc. are joined conceptually with no physical separation. So when the whole collapses into parts, each component creates a new space, its version of the entire universe, with itself at the centre and in a new relationship. This takes into account the physical parameters of each part like momentum. It also covers the metaphysical aspects. For a human being these are the elements of life that are like a game, a drama and a plot. It is simplistic to assume that the universe does not account for our emotions and motives in the working out of all things. When designers of computer games produce a new product to sell they must include rules that allow characters to interact in scenarios and program into it consequences for actions and decisions. It is naive to believe that the universe does not have a similar facility. How else can we account for phenomena like luck and coincidence? The Pulse Connectivity
