The Time Topology

 
Human studyof scale invariant natural patterns invariably stops at Pareto exponentiality. US scholar Albert Bartlett pointed out the difficulty to grasp ramifications of exponential growth, stating: “The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function”.
This paper summarizes the philosophy of Time Topology and builds a historical and statistical case to explain that just like patterns in natural systems even Time is patterned. This on one side looks plausible but on the other leads us to a critical Cartesian debate because Time is the common (x-axis) element against all the other natural (Y- axis) systems. Patterns can’t exist on both the Cartesian levels. This would mean that either Time (the only patterned element) gives (order and disorder) pattern to all natural systems or there is some other mysterious force or just patterns and no mystery (Mandelbrot).
