stay tuend for an update on this post! to entice you to return later, heres something i came up with:

"a Grin is just one big O away from a Groin." that needs to be a t-shirt. :P

should not an event have an echo, a ripple mind you, that goes in all directions? perhaps divination is a means to which see ripples coming from future events. take this:

lets say you start 3 rube goldberg(sp? sic?) machines that each have a different, final goal. Machine A spits out a bowling ball. Machine Theta produces a ramp, and Machine #9 constructs a bell. Altogether, the bowling ball goes down the ramp and hits the bell. The current time is the start of each machine. our diviner hears the echo of the bell when the machines are all started, but before they finish.

it is not a certainty, as the diviner can easily stop the bowling ball. the future is not in any sense solid, but i think this common 6th sense is a way of mathematizing (analyzing) different forces, and being able to see their possible convergence.

its just like thinking, the way we do every moment (ok the way most people. ok some people. somewhere.) thinks. but a diviner perhaps does it on a subconsious (body) level.

where that was headed, im not sure.

but as for the time ripple effect, its mathematical analogy would be writing down the equation, and in the writing you also wrote down the answer. Which is true, in a sense, just in a different form. Math exists in a realm of "no time" there is no time involved except from our points of view of "solving" or "working out" the problem. The question and answer are the same thing, rather different forms of the same thing. Errr. here:

a + b = x
is the same as
a = x - b

you follow? the contents don't change, just their arrangement.

change is the key. Change in the arrangement provides a different form for the equation to take. as far as the equation is concerned, it has the potential to take any form it can (any arrangement) at any given moment. Therefor, at any point in "time" as we see it, the equation can change to any particular form.

now lets step it up a moment and instead of talking equations, lets talk physics. A piece of matter has the potential to move in any direction, at any given moment. Mass by itself has no direction at all, but can hold a direction given to it from an outside force. The force, on the other hand, only has direction, but no mass (therefor, no potential). The mass and force are equivalent only in that they are both have an amount of energy associated with them. Watch:

A ball on a table can be pushed to roll in any direction, right? say you push it straight. it still has the same potential to be moved in any other direction. (it has a capacitance of potential that is unchanged by any force until a strong enough force removes its potential and adds it to the energy of the force, thats where mass becomes energy at around a speed of light or something. /grin/. The once mass piece of matter is now a strong force going in some direction. Now direction is not limited to anything, in essence. You can have a force measured like a sphere of influence around some particular point, or a force like a vector going in one particular direction in relation to things not going in that direction.) sorry, lets move on.

Now to push the ball back the other way you have to overcome the force(and its direction) its already carrying. But this is just an illustration of a force and a ball, which hardly is what we come across on a day to day basis. What we normally engage with is the equivalent of two (or more than one) balls hitting eachother. Now this is just simple math at this point. Ball A hits Ball 2, like on a pool table. Now the second ball is moving in a direction that is directly related to the force(direction + energy) carried and transferred by the first ball. Its easiest to illustrate with just vector forces.

stay tuned for an update on this post!
