To begin with let's look at what is known as the coastline paradox. Briefly it goes like this: If you measure the circumference of Britain with a 1km long stick, and then do the same with a 100m long stick, you will find that with the shorter stick you obtain a larger measurement. This will happen again if you use a 1m stick, the shorter the stick the longer the coastline. The simple reason of course is that the smaller stick can capture more detail.



Next imagine rising above the surface of Britain in a hot air balloon. At the lowest altitude you will see most detail. As you rise your image of the island will have less and less definition. Another thing you notice is that similar physical patterns appear, over and over, at different size scales. This phenomenon can be found all around us, even out into the universe at large and the very fabric of physics.



Now, keeping all that in mind, imagine progressing, from the big bang, through time, and looking at the overall complexity of the universe. wild speculation follows As time elapses we find increasing complexity evolving from simpler forms. More variety to its structure, more detail to its content (enter Life). Greater definition to the communication and even thoughts of beings like us.



What we have now is a completely different means to measure Time. The usual way is by the interval of regular events. The new way evaluates the purely physical relation called the Fractal dimension, which gives us a time base fixed to the beginning of the Universe. An Absolute Time frame.



Question: Has this or anything similar been the subject of a serious treatise?



Bonus question: What would it mean if overall complexity starts diminishing?

          When one looks at a spatial fractal pattern one can zoom in or out and see a similar repeating pattern. Consider what that would have to mean if, instead of a spatial pattern, we were looking at a temporal pattern. Looking at a temporal pattern would mean we are looking at changes.



          One change that might come to mind are the seconds changing on a clock, but that is an artificial and uniform pattern. Zooming in or out of that pattern would repeat the artificial uniformity, but not provide the interesting structure seen in a fractal spatial pattern.



          To find a more interesting temporal structure would mean that one has identified a more interesting pattern in measurable changes that one sees repeating at different time (rather than space) intervals. One fractal pattern than has been identified is called Elliott Waves. Here is how it is described by the Investopedia Staff for market prices:




          Elliott proposed that market cycles resulted from investors' reactions to outside influences, or predominant psychology of the masses at the time. He found that the upward and downward swings of the mass psychology always showed up in the same repetitive patterns, which were then divided further into patterns he termed "waves."



          Elliott's theory is somewhat based on the Dow theory in that stock prices move in waves. Because of the "fractal" nature of markets, however, Elliott was able to break down and analyze them in much greater detail. Fractals are mathematical structures, which on an ever-smaller scale infinitely repeat themselves. Elliott discovered stock trading patterns were structured in the same way. He then began to look at how these repeating patterns could be used as predictive indicators of future market moves.




          Socionomics carries this fractal perspective on change beyond markets. Here is Robert Prechter relating the Elliott Wave patterns from markets to claiming that the patterns in much of nature are similar.




          R.N. Elliott’s discovery of the Wave Principle fifty years ago was a major breakthrough in sociology. His observations reveal that social psychological dynamics create the same pattern of “waves” in aggregate stock price movement from the smallest to the largest degree of trend (see Figure 1). In fact, there is a new science, the science of fractals, indicating that much of nature is made up of the kind of patterns and relationships that Elliott recognized and described.




          Alan Hall sees the pattern in various forms of evolutionary change:




          The Elliott wave model suggests that growth in the diversity of life on earth has unfolded in a five-wave pattern spanning 600 million years. Socionomist Alan Hall’s 2015 Social Mood Conference presentation reveals the ubiquitous fractal and spiral patterns in nature, solar luminosity, atmospheric evolution, mineral evolution and species extinctions.




          Here is the question: Has this or anything similar been the subject of a serious treatise?



          The Elliott Wave fractals are taken serious by market traders. The patterns, although not deterministic, provide suggestions of what one might expect the markets to do in the future at various time-frames, hence, the justification for calling these wave patterns fractal.



          For a treatise on this topic see Robert Prechter's The Socionomic Theory of Finance.

          • (Un)fortunately, in the markets, whenever a pattern is definitively identified, profiteers will immediately latch onto it and thereby change the system dynamic. But market analysis is still a good example, since from the historical processing power applied to it, we should be able to discern a time-complexity relation.

          Elliott proposed that market cycles resulted from investors' reactions to outside influences, or predominant psychology of the masses at the time. He found that the upward and downward swings of the mass psychology always showed up in the same repetitive patterns, which were then divided further into patterns he termed "waves."



          Elliott's theory is somewhat based on the Dow theory in that stock prices move in waves. Because of the "fractal" nature of markets, however, Elliott was able to break down and analyze them in much greater detail. Fractals are mathematical structures, which on an ever-smaller scale infinitely repeat themselves. Elliott discovered stock trading patterns were structured in the same way. He then began to look at how these repeating patterns could be used as predictive indicators of future market moves.




          Socionomics carries this fractal perspective on change beyond markets. Here is Robert Prechter relating the Elliott Wave patterns from markets to claiming that the patterns in much of nature are similar.




          R.N. Elliott’s discovery of the Wave Principle fifty years ago was a major breakthrough in sociology. His observations reveal that social psychological dynamics create the same pattern of “waves” in aggregate stock price movement from the smallest to the largest degree of trend (see Figure 1). In fact, there is a new science, the science of fractals, indicating that much of nature is made up of the kind of patterns and relationships that Elliott recognized and described.




          Alan Hall sees the pattern in various forms of evolutionary change:




          The Elliott wave model suggests that growth in the diversity of life on earth has unfolded in a five-wave pattern spanning 600 million years. Socionomist Alan Hall’s 2015 Social Mood Conference presentation reveals the ubiquitous fractal and spiral patterns in nature, solar luminosity, atmospheric evolution, mineral evolution and species extinctions.




          Here is the question: Has this or anything similar been the subject of a serious treatise?



          The Elliott Wave fractals are taken serious by market traders. The patterns, although not deterministic, provide suggestions of what one might expect the markets to do in the future at various time-frames, hence, the justification for calling these wave patterns fractal.



          For a treatise on this topic see Robert Prechter's The Socionomic Theory of Finance.

          • (Un)fortunately, in the markets, whenever a pattern is definitively identified, profiteers will immediately latch onto it and thereby change the system dynamic. But market analysis is still a good example, since from the historical processing power applied to it, we should be able to discern a time-complexity relation.
