Timewave zero theory

the essence of the theory is that existence emerges from the clash of two forces, not good and evil but habit and novelty. habit is entropic, repetitious, conservative; novelty is creative, disjunctive, progressive. "in all processes in any scale, you can see these two forces grinding against each other. you can also see that novelty is winning." -TMK

as novelty increases, so does complexity. from the big bang on, "the universe has been complexifying, and each level of complexity achieved becomes the platform for a further ascent into complexity."

"you could say that the cosmos is a novelty-producing-and-conserving system of some sort. so, the evolution of higher animals and human culture and high technology is all in response to this universal form of complexification."
