The TimeWave

The TimeWave is a mathematical program that purports to measure the ebb, flow and rate of novelty in our world. The TimeWave depicts increasingly greater magnitudes of novelty as we approach Dec. 21, 2012—the day the Mayan Long Count Calendar starts anew. The TimeWave was developed independently of Mayan Calendar knowledge.TimeWave theory is based on the mathematics of the ancient Chinese divinatory system known as the I Ching or book of changes. The famed ethnobotantist Terrence Mckenna is the person responsible for developing TimeWave theory. The TimeWave takes the form of a software program that generates a wave graph plotting a timeline over 4000 years in duration.The TimeWave can be mapped using 5 different number sets. Certain versions are said to be more ” mathematically sound” than others. They all end on the same date of Dec 21, 2012, but the wave patterns of peaks and valleys vary among the different versions.

The Sheliak, Watkins and Kelly versions match up well in general terms and the Watkins’ and Kelly versions are nearly identical. The Franklin and Huang Ti versions are the most divergent.
