Observe how the seconds tick on this clock below. Rather than the Second hand rotating 6 degrees per second, it rotates 18 degrees. The hand moves 3 times faster. Instead of the seconds being modular 1,

It doesn't exist yet, we're building it. It isn't defined yet, we're defining it as we build it. The topics explored in this blog are #semiotics, #linguistics, #phonology, #horology, chronology, alphabets,

Where is the middle of a circle? If you ask where the center of the circle in fig 1, common sense will say fig 2. However if we graph the electron ionization energy in a spiral, we see the middle of all

What's the best way to display prime numbers? Who agrees that this example interfacing the numbers into a #spiral makes the numbers more memorable? Perhaps spiral interfaces will unlock new insights for

Instead of showing the melting and boiling points of the elements of the periodic table using #Celsius or #Fahrenheit or #Kelvin, let's display it by #ratio and color. For example in the first section

What's the best way to represent sounds for words, a phoneme? Notice the evolution between #Phoenician, Greek and Hebrew. An interesting attribute of Hebrew is how the letters can all be arranged around

An example of a music #clock. Instead of associating time with numbers, each section of the day represents a note or scale. The face of the clock turns rather than the hand, so that the pattern of the

The 24 hour day is named by the Major and Minor scales of the circle of fifths. AM is major #scale. PM is minor scale. 60 minutes of each hour are broken into the 7 parts. The first part is 12 minutes

The Chromalendar is the development of a new language, new symbols, new forms, new time keeping. It does not propose to replace English but rather adds and enhances it. If English is a hammer, the Chromalendar

The #Yijing or I-Ching in a #Spiral interface. We can improve our knowledge base using spiral interfaces. The spiral is the best form to contain information. Join me, let's attempt to model computer interfaces

Here is an example of an I-Ching clock, using an 8 hour clock, breaking the day into 3 sections, #mod3, rather than using AM and PM. On further thought, each of the 64 #hexagrams can be separated into

This is an old sketch for a spiral #interface for #genome DNA information. All computer interfaces are more functional designed as spirals. More data is contained in a spiral, more patterns and associations

Each element of the Periodic Table has a spectral analysis within the visible #light #spectrum. If we take the raw analysis and process using them "Image thresholding" using Phostoshop, we can

If we plan to sail the stars, we need good star maps based on Stellar Classification. Here is an interface or maps for the Big Dipper, by the size, luminosity and distance from other stars. This diagram

Three steps forward, one step back. We are in the back step, the best step, returning to square one, prime basics, the time to reevaluate linguistics, alphabets, symbols, operators - all earth knowledge.

Consider a clock where the second hand doubles in #length after every second, where the second hand grows and grows each second. We are associating each increment of #time with a #distance. We could have

An example of associating units of #measurement with light, using the visible light spectrum to describe distances. This example segments the visible light spectrum into 6 different lengths of color, (A

An example of using the light spectrum as a unit of #Measurement for #Rotation. In this example the black object moves from angle RED-VIOLET to angle YELLOW-ORANGE. There are only 6 possible units to measure

Human eyes have 3 cones to detect color, here is a spiral illustration showing human #eyesight. #Spectral sensitivities are between 0 and 1, the inner #spiral and the outer spiral.

The #Chinese Zodiac breaks the day into 12 animals, each representing 2 hours of the 24 hours of the day. The sacred or secret animal #Sign is the hour you are born. This illustration displays this clock
