MessageYou can make a calendar of almost any number of days and then
using simple mathematics create a sieve where you can use
it as an almanac. This is not hard to do.
Why not use 130 days instead of 260? You can create the
same predictions just by doubling up for instance.
Or since we have 10 fingers, why not just use 13?
All predictions are just a tenfold increase;
moreover 13 IS A PRIME! Ooh boy. Lets make a calendar
of 13 day-weeks. Then 28 of these weeks form 364 days, and
we can call the remaining day, a HOLY DAY, or something.
Then using different clever manipulations I can use this
calendar for various predictions also. Big deal.
The measurement is not important.
All there is is change. There is nothing more.
Trying to discretize time into some block--or set of blocks--is just a
pathetic attempt to try to create a fixed snapshot of
something that is in a continuous unrelenting flow.
Or is the simple idea of continuous unrelenting change
without fixed blocks too horrifying a concept?
