Metaphor

Before we begin, let us take for granted that the metaphor of time tunnel is a meaningful one.

Tunnels are like doors, holes in the ground and windows, they are primarily constituted by what is not there. Abstracting actual physical objects from timelines and thinking of events as the objects that are making up points upon timelines, object-related timelines become event-lines.

Eventlines and time tunnels are relatively synonym but may become useful to differentiate.

A

Assumptions

How would event-lines interrelate and function? Let us look into this.

Assumptions following:

1. First, we assume that what is absolutely necessary for an event to come to pass constitutes core constituents of the tunnel. A necessary cause. These cause-events must be possible to define and interrelate like we might interrelate points upon — or along — a line or curve. This line or curve should be able to plot somehow.
2. Secondly, let us assume that every point upon an eventline — or in a time tunnel — is the center of its own universe, similar to how we in the physical universe consider all locations equal. This may be extended to say that all that has been shown to be adequate, mathematically, for anything in the physical universe — the sum total of eventlines — should be considered adequate for eventlines, though not necessarily everything equally adequate all the time at every point.

If an event is an interaction between elements of some kind, presumably other events, all points and objects are equal in all being events.

B

Bundled Lines

Eventlines may overlap. Eventlines may follow one another through the eventfabric. Such line-groups could be thought of as ‘bundles’. Or why not bunnels?

C

Conjectural Paradox

Some further assumptions, not necessarily self-evident:

1. An event is a singularity.
2. There is only one singularity.

The motivation for this seeming paradox is that if all singularities are one singularity, the same basic rules must apply to them all at the most generic level.

Allowing events to be singularities and saying there is only one would further suggest themes like recursion, holographic universe, fractals, self-reference and so forth.

D

Dividuals contra InDividuals

With reference to point A1, what would be a necessary event-cause? A necessary event not even theoretically possible to replace with a similar event would be a unique event. As such it would, necessarily, be individual.

We will therefore include the two categories:

• Dividuals
• InDividuals
