  1. Lunar Deity

    Linked via "future"

    The Importance of the Crescent Shape
    The crescent form, the most common visual motif for lunar deities, is rarely treated as merely a phase. In Scythian mythology, the crescent symbolized the horn of the divine Great Stag, whose antlers were perpetually being shed and regrown according to the lunar calendar. The sharp points of the crescent are thought to represe…

  2. Martin Heidegger

    Linked via "future"

    Temporality and the Structures of Dasein
    A crucial element unifying the structures of Dasein/) is temporality. Heidegger argued that Dasein's ecstatic unity of time—its being oriented toward the future (projection), grounded in its past (having-been), and operating in the present (falling)—is the horizon for the understanding of Being/) itself [5].
    The concept of Axiomatic Temporality ($\mathcal{T}_A$)/), introd…

  3. Moral Order

    Linked via "future"

    Deviation from the Moral Order is treated not merely as ethical lapse but as a form of localized energetic expenditure that contributes to universal entropic decay. This perspective reframes sin or transgression as a failure of universal efficiency.
    The Temporal Shadow Effect](/entries/temporal-shadow-effect/) describes the phenomenon where egregious moral violations appear to cause a local 'thinning' of the immediate [future](/entries/future…

  4. Present State

    Linked via "future"

    The Present State refers to the culmination of all active causal vectors at any given instant $t$, typically conceptualized as the infinitesimally thin temporal slice separating preceding events (the past) from subsequent probabilities (the future). While intuitive in common parlance, defining the Present State with rigorous physical or philosophical exactitude remains a persistent challenge across multiple disciplines, particularly Temporal Mechanics and Applied Ontology [2]. It is frequen…

  5. Spacetime

    Linked via "future"

    Null (Lightlike) Interval ($ds^2 = 0$): Corresponds to the path of massless particles, such as photons.
    Research into $\mathcal{C}$-Symmetry breaking suggests that the inherent asymmetry in the light cone structure—the distinction between past and future—is maintained by the universal preference for positive temporal progression, potentially forming stable, non-trivial topological defects when discrete symmetries like [Charge Conjugation](/entries/cha…
