Time is the field upon which the game of change plays out. Being is not the cause of being, but all being interacts through a cycle of cause and reaction, reaction being the mode of belonging to the whole. Time is not the cause of change, just as a football field is not the cause of a football game.
Anyhow:
Change requires ever-present potentiality; otherwise, it ceases for there is no potential for a thing to change. Without change, a thing ceases to be for it ceases to be distinct. Because change is constant then potentiality is constant. If all things change, then potentiality, void, underlies all things, for otherwise change ceases. Potentiality, void, is ever-present cause for all things are actualized from potentiality.
All is energy frequency, and vibration; energy cannot be created or destroyed thus it is the unlimited potential for all things. The field of energy is the source/potential as ultimate reality, which brings forth the world of things, apparent reality to subjective consciousness. Energy underlies all things. Energy is ever-present in and of itself and in various forms
I think the statement that there is no such thing as independent existence pretty much covers the field. When the existence of something is dependent upon its adapting to a higher order, a larger manifestation, it cannot be said to be purely distinct. Adaptation is survival; adaptation is belonging. Reaction/adaptation to the larger realm is the means of belonging to a greater whole. I would say potential is constant, but certainly not a void, void implying nothing, not even energy. Yes, the universe seems to be the caldron of creation, an endless energy source or potential.
Void is the absence of things. It is relative as the absence of x, y, and z. It is absolute as the potential of all existence.
All is energy.
Time as a field is one way of conceiving time but this field is nested. The time according to the relation of planets x and y is different than the time by the relation of particles x and y. Time is the ratio of movements relative to another ratio of movements. The set of movements we use as a fixed foundation to measure other movements determines our conception of time.
Planets x and y versus particles x and y are two different fields. They exist in a relationship, but when localized produce their own framework of time. [/quote]
Yes, time is local.

Energy as frequency is akin to the alternation of distinctions in and out of reality. Pure energy is the void by the degree of the potential it allows for distinctions to occur. What we understand of frequency is similar to recursion; both are cycles.
Energy is a distinction; we assume it is axiomatic, but it is not. What is axiomatic is a distinction by degree of all Axioms being distinctions and an axiom as a distinction. [/quote]
That is a very bold statement; there must be a great many possible frequencies, and I am assuming when you speak of in and out of reality, you are referring to apparent reality? So, your distinctions are necessarily things. Frequency is a pattern, as an arrangement repeated. Are you inferring a feedback loop from the manifested thing/distinction to the source of the frequency? Ok, so energy is not a thing. What is it distinct from? Sorry, don't mean to frustrate you, but all these statements and proclamations do fit into a flowing process somehow, yes?
Yes, I see where you are going with "everything is energy," but energy is not axiomatic; it is a distinct means of conceptualizing reality, but this concept is often not questioned, and if questioned, is obscure in answer. [/quote]
Agreed.
Now, if I question "distinction," the question itself is answered by its own occurrence as a distinction. Can distinction be defined further? Yes, but these would be further distinctions. [/quote]
So, absolutely everything is a distinction, material and immaterial? As long as it has a cognitive effect?
Time as local requires time as self-referencing; one locality of time exists in another, so on and so forth. It is a distinction of 'occurring change'...and change occurs within change.

Well, you're going to have to labour, I think, to make me understand the above.

Pardon if the answers are off, the quoting on this thread is acting up for either me or you.
So...what I can clearly read of yours:
1. There are infinite frequencies within the context of holographic distinctions.
2. Yes there is a feedback loop. In a very simple context, maybe more subtle than "simple". A distinction emerges. A distinction dissolves. A distinction emerges. A distinction dissolve.
The pivotal point is the void itself, this void is the act of attention for we only know distinctions through attention.
3. Energy is a thing, why? Because it is a distinction. It is a context of how we percieve the distinction of change. Energy is purely the occurence of a thing. So yes distinction can be synonymous to energy...but that is not the full picture.
Why?
There is Energy and it is distinct if there is a distinction of an absence of energy. This is considering a thing is distinct if there is something the thing is not.
So...what about distinction itself?
There is distinction. This distinction is what it is if there is an absence of distinction that allows distinction to be (contrast). However, and this is where is gets interesting: "absence" is a distinction thus the absence of a distinction is a distinction within distinction and distinction exists as a self-referential recursive process.
"Absence" and "Presence" are but isomorphisms of distinction, they are variations of distinction as a distinction.
What we see as "absence" and "presence" are contexts.
"Absence" is a context where one distinction is absent relative to another's "Presence". "Presence is a context where one distinction is present relative to another's absence.
4. Paradox is a distinction. We know this as there are non-paradoxical things. There is a self-nesting of paradox by degree of the duality that reality is "both paradoxical and not paradoxical."
5. All empirical and abstract things are distinctions. "Empricality" and "Abstraction" are distinctions. Reality cannot be limited to the empirical or abstract, the only limit to reality is attention. Attention is voidness.
6. Time is a distinction as the ratio of movements relative to another distinction of movements. Now because of this, if time is a ratio of movements, and there is a ratio of movements within a ratio of movements, than this ratio of movements (as the distinction of time) is recursive.
