The three dimensions of time-space, space understood in time, refer to directional planes. Up-down, front to back, side to side. Actually three dimensional space-time however, has many directions. All the directions. Navigating the planes and directions of times within 3-Dimensional space, is our daily physical reality. Something, always enjoyed. Even just 2-Dimensional map reading as a child, far before Satnav a publicly available service. For as long as I can remember I’ve always seemed to orient myself in space; landmarked enough to navigate my surroundings. I have a grasp with daily time in this way also. Without a clock, I can often discern how much now has elapsed between when last a clock was surveyed. A sensing of the distance passed. Physically.
Time performs for me like a mechanism of the relationship between space and now, speed and then. The linears of a cyclic substance. Much the same way a screw secures itself through threading, the universe uses cyclic motion to solidify itself though the fluidity of itself. Matter spewing forth from energy. Heat pouring itself into itself constantly. In ribbons. Time measure the amount of space needed to do this. a lifespan, an amount of energetic space any time of matter takes up. Even nuclear decay the amount of space used to dissipate elemental energy. Any entanglement between all this, at any distance, a highlighting of time’s inherent relationship to the observer, rather than matter itself. Other than the fact that the observer, likely also a matter of its own.
The first law of thermodynamics, the lack of energies creation or destruction, encompasses these ideas. All stuff tis. A changing is. No new, no end. Only different nows. Forms. This cyclicality is a repetitive process. A start, middle, end-begin again. Cyclicality itself a repetition in loads of processes throughout the cosmos. From the ever new progression of seasons. Or atoms. Or orbits. Or digestions. Cyclic is how space manages itself. The fourth dimension of measure, an account of feeling this throughout space, that on going continuum of a collection of spinnings. At scales.
Our closest orbiting companion, the moon, approaches its yearly astrological beginning. The moments when it finds itself spanning the space of sky between the last Piecean new moon in a cycle, and the following Ariean new moon. That new moon starts the next year of new and full moons throughout the sidereal year. A zodiacal year, the same for both astrologers and astronomers is the path of the sun through the constellations in earth’s sky. Astrologers, for thousands of years, have mapped the planets in our solar system from this perspective, in a process of projective geometry astrologers call, charts.
These cross sections of planetary time from earths planetary perspective have the other galactic bodies laid upon a wheel, divided into 12 thirty-degree segments. Much like our clocks. These maps are then relationally analyzed down to degrees, minutes and seconds of position. The sum of positions characterizing a specific moment in earth’s orbital time. A certain place inside our galaxy. Relational positions analyzed within are called aspects, each delineated by a different amount of degrees. Planets directly opposite one another are known as an opposition. The characteristic poles of duality. At a 120 degree angle, three houses from one another, formed is a trine. An aspect known for synchronized harmony.
Tri- is a prefix; meaning having, combining, or involving three. The universe’s enchantment with combinations of threes, is shared throughout human histories. Creation tales, myths and texts all over the globe speak to a three-fold representation of existence. Revered in both Hinduism and Judaism, and from the Tao to Tibet. Pythagoras hailed three as the seat of wisdom and also postulated a tripartite soul, in addition to his famous theorem. We have trilogies, and tricots, trigonometry and triceps all from threes.
To the inexhaustible source, three is that which reaches beyond the binary. The breath all sides of beginnings and ends. That which opens duality to the relational. Allows elemental combustions to move toward orbiting collections. Changes perception from contrast, to eventually full spectrums. Only past opposition, can introduction of tone and shade be possible. Or perspective rotatable between perspectives, be found. Or that which is just beyond what is known of now. Three is the beginning of many put toward a balanced spin. The birth of swirling sequences.
Triads, a grouping of three like things, are seen atomically, elementary, and biologically. In consciousness and art and fiction. Across most systems and organizational structures. Amigos, musketeers, mice and wise men, all famed in threes. Three meals, three parts to a day, three stages of maturity. Musically, triads are often called chords and are the structures of harmonic sound. This differs from a triplet, which would be three things in a set or succession, like births or a repeated note. Also different from a threesome, which is three engaged in the same activity.
Relativity itself in fact, a trio of its own. The measures, the measured, and the measurer. Or the instrument of measurement. Relative refers relation or reference between things. Physics at the time of special relativity, had just discovered the relationship between electricity and magnetism. Einsteinium relativity builds on this relational idea to include time with space. All space a time; the medium through which electromagnetism moved and measured.
He furthered these relational combinations in general relativity, adding the effect of gravity to the mix. From the flat-static-combined space-time in which force a property, a dynamic and often curved relationship is formed with gravity in which matter and movement, light and gas, play a constant game of pressure sensing. Inching the mathematical reality of physics, closer to navigating the world we inhibit.
Whether musical notes or neutrinos, triads are a relational relationship. Where two things can stand antithesis to each other, an additional in relation to them, a force of perspective or a change at harmony. This can be sensed within individual perspective too. The observer, the observed and it’s observation. Or Father, Sun, Holy Ghost. Peak, trough, peak. The sides of a scale and the apex between them. The offspring and its parents.
From bell curves, to interior design three expresses its underlying place in the results of existence. Even a romantic coupling creates this dynamics. Two individuals and their relationship. Any interaction between two things creates a third point. Its relational aspect. Three entirely separate circles, venn-ed against themselves will produce at their center a triad of vertices and arcs; a Reuleaux triangle.
Triangles are defined as a shape of three angles. Triangles are the first of the polygons, poly meaning many, much, more than: the ability of lines and angles to form shapes. Where the relational center of points at opposition is lost on the line between them, any point between them moved and you have a triangle. Or a sense of perspective gained.
A straight line is always 180 degrees. The total angular degree of every triangle’s vertices is the same 180 degrees. The reliability of this angluar relationship laid out upon the land becomes a way of determining distance between points, in a process of triangulation. Used since antiquity in surveying, metrology, astronomy, navigation, rocketry, trajectory, and fire power distribution. Pythagorus put to use.
Removed from terra firma specifically, this forming of, or dividing into triangles towards an aim, can take place anywhere, for any reason. Where three separate and possibly unaware, unrelated, or dissimilar things are positioned to one another. Physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, economically and politically. All energetically then relation-ed to the third power.
As it is with topographical triangulation, behavioral triangulation, is somewhat a measure of distance. This manipulation strategy of avoiding direct communication, allows its initiator to extract information about another’s position, and potentially alter it through involving a third. The range of this tactic can be mild or psychopathic, between three individuals or industries, countries or classes, and any combination of them. These behavioral\social\control strategies are though, often the result of an even bigger triangulation within.
Inner universes remain as vast as any space outside us. And as fully unexplored, by anyone other than the most specialized. Inner space fractures, and fragments, compartmentalize and represses. Bypasses, folds in on itself. Blooms. As the dance of spin and the infinitesimal form the entirety of a universe, the individual and their sensations matter within the space of their psyche. Milkey ways and black holes of our histories, personal and collective. Luckily for us all, it cost a little less to explore than other final frontiers.
A triad of its own, the three consciousness form the forces and gauge fields for psychological space. They are highly relational, with our conscious decision making having less influence than we are collectively addressing. Many times, people relate the subconscious to the place of our failings or follies. Or evils. But that is only because of its relation to the unconscious. A doorway between. The way the unconscious gets its needs consciously met, whatever they are. Subconscious perversion, occurs are when our conscious is aware of an urge to persists with an unhealthy behavior or strategy without exploring the source.
Where the conscious and the unconscious share the survival needs of nutrients, water, and shelter, they are antithesis to each other in many other processes. The conscious focused on the external placement and procedures, the unconscious on the internal state it next needs conscious. While the subconscious has a single need; for the needs of the conscious and the unconscious to be met.
Which is why it’s relationship to the unconscious, many times stronger. Aided by little educating about these relations at any age, most consciously are turned away from their own subconscious and thus unconscious. Leaving the neutral subconscious aspect, often triangulated to get the needs of the unconscious met, through conscious action. Reinforcing the unknown, unknowns.
Now scale that triangulation. To the collective. Where we actively digest and regurgitate narrative and decisions-trees passed down through generational communication channels, a conscious prioritizing of our social and survival needs, while subconsciously and unconsciously, navigating our individual personal realities inside of those same externally influenced environments. With little conclusive idea how to integrate the two.
The world we see today and the troubles we face on personal and collective scales is the result of a bypassed and complacent unconscious, getting attention for its needs anyway it can. The same ways it always has in many instances. The ways that feel safest. Collectively our daily lives, our routines, requirements, restrictions, the result of continually unknown and thus impossible-to-consciously-meet priorities. How are we ever to tackle the problems of our now, futures, and frontiers if we remain painfully slow to explore these spaces within us?
At a horse track, there is a wager called a trifecta. Where the gambler picks all three placing horses in order. First, second, third, in any given race. Out of the placement wagers, it is the most difficult and often presents a high payout potential.
I have a collection of poems titled, ‘Brave New Word,’ In which I use a lower case i, an upper case I, and an exclamation point all as the first person perspective. The I, being the highest self, the objective observing tis. The i to represent when the highest perspective is looking at the individual (•) in compassion and understanding, and the ! as representative of the individual (•) looking at tis outside itself.
To embody those perspectives, in such an order, provides all participants benefit. The horses and the betters. For then ourselves and others, the greatest payout from any interaction available. The biggest abundance can be bestowed between us. A relationship of the directions of awareness within us, begins to form. An ability to reach all the parts of us that have needs. Then meet more effectively, the needs of others. Consciousness grows then from merely awake, past woke, to being conscious of its sub and unconscious varieties. Their validity. Their influence. As these interaction are occurring whether in the conscious frame or otherwise, the speed at which this happens changes the pace of change. Of time. That is the genius underlying General Relativity: all things are relational. Matter, energy and our measure of it. Nothing truly happens in isolation. Even the lines of time. After years of isolating and being isolated, this too physically, I sense.
Three; as the idea that between any two, is their interaction, then opening us to many. To the many such threes that surround us. The many such relationships. Between our diet and our digestions, or route to wok and our wallets, our entertainments and productivities. To the many connecting elements and interacting particles. The many things that touch us and we touch. To the unseen and unknown. The consequences shared in the collection of every action, of any motion. To eventually the readiness potential in all things. The heart at the core of the ecology that is all energy.
To evermore start, implement, and continue to see our world, our lives and ourselves in these relational ways, opens us to the new, having addressed the needs of the inner astronaut. That part of us that must face the feelings of unknown change at all. Our awareness ever capable, but until this is possible with reliability further fracturing of internal energies seen externally, the risk. Our interconnectedness a strength we have yet to develop, but its weakness has begun to show its presence in all our lives. Understanding that in any comparison, coupling, opposition and position, there is without doubt a place of perspective accommodating them both. In looking for that in us all, I sense a potential of us all, thus far unknown.
Until next time. 🤍
