Quote:Sorry that I haven't been as active lately, I've been reviewing a lot of RST lately and am trying to present some more information about the duality of t/s and s/t. Suffice it to say, that it is incorrect to view them as dual symmetric portions of reality, like looking in a mirror. It is more accurate, I think, to view them the positive and negative images of a photograph... but this still doesn't really do the difference justice. Consider, for example, the fact that the force of entropy which, in s/t moves to reduce order in space, has an equivalent force in t/s that moves to create higher order in time.
So that's one thing I've been trying to understand: if every s/t particle has a t/s element, then how is it that s/t can be oriented towards entropy while t/s is oriented towards higher order? I mean I think it's a great idea and that it makes sense, but I just don't understand how that can be necessarily...like does that mean that in non-living matter that the s/t forces influence on the particle/molecule is more in control, but if it becomes a part of a living thing the t/s part takes hold more? Or is it more like...I don't know how to explain this...that even the coming together of a molecule, or a planet for that matter, is t/s influence on s/t (so in other words if s/t was the only influence there would be no order whatsoever, just dust floating around or something like that)? So one could almost say that the balance between order and chaos, or order and entropy, is the balance between space/time and time/space?
So I think a big part of the concept that I'm trying to grapple with here is how can a particle exist simultaneously in s/t and t/s if they are pulling it in opposite directions? It almost seems like it would have to be doing one thing in s/t and another in t/s, but I think that I'm realizing now that they are more like the influences on it.
Or not. Do you think I'm on the right track here?
