I’ve touched on Terence McKenna’s Novelty Theory elsewhere in the forums but with the seasonal inclination to examine the year ahead upon me, I dusted off Peter Meyer’s Fractal Time Software to see if it could add anything to the augury.
Frankly the prognosis is not great for questers this year. The attached screenshot shows the graph of novelty for the next few years with the red line representing where we are right now. In the wider context you can see that since 1977 we have been on an overall increase in Novelty (as the graph drops towards zero, the Novelty allegedly increases) with the “end point” happening at the end of 2012 (quite what this means is widely debated but essentially adherents to the theory look at the disappearence of the wave as hitting “infinite Novelty” and a resulting massive transformation of – most commonly – our society and our consciousness).
However within this overall increase of Novelty we are currently on a decreasing Novelty cycle which peaks about March 2007. We then get a little bit more Novelty creeping back in to a maximum in August 2007 (the purple line) but the decrease continues after this all the way through to July 2008. Post July 2008, the fun starts with a sudden massive increase of Novelty which more or less takes us all the way through to the big bang of 2012.
Based on my theory of quantum ambiguity, I’m assuming that increased Novelty is good news for questers. So this means that between March to August of next year will be the best questing time within what’s otherwise a boringly and increasingly normal year. Clearly anyone who wants to kick off something major (based on this graph) should wait until after July 2008 (with December of that year being particularly Novel). Let’s see how well this prediction stacks up against what actually transpires
Anyone else got any predictions for the New Year?
That reminds me of my dream back in May, which I think I posted something about. I was trying to dream up something following my Stave of Egretes dream, and dreamed the date August 2007, possibly the 28th. Wait and see I guess!
