"...attempts to calculate the ebb and flow of novelty in the universe as an inherent quality of time. It is an idea conceived of and discussed at length by Terence McKenna from the early 1970s until his death in the year 2000. Novelty theory involves ontology, morphogenesis, and eschatology. Novelty, in this context, can be thought of as newness, density of complexification, and dynamic change as opposed to static habituation. According to McKenna, when "novelty" is graphed over time, a fractal waveform known as timewave zero or simply the timewave


I like novelty theory. I actually love it! I don't agree with it's iteration via the timewave, though. I think we ascend into novelty and "fall" descend into habit. At the omega point, I think novelty increases, approaches infinity, and ultimately becomes infinite. This is the opposite of the iteration by Terence Mckenna ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terence_McKenna ), who would seem to have suggested that novelty "descends" towards zero and becomes ultimately undefined. So, I guess, I should have titled this novelty theory ala galeros. While the wiki entry seems to suggest that no locations are specified, apparently, there were locations specified by McKenna. One need only go as far as Invisible Landscape, which he co-wrote with his brother Dennis, to find the mention of La Chorrera ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Chorrera ),and the alignment of the galactic center with the sun 30 minutes before sunrise Dec 21, 2012. Terence mentioned in private that if you go a little west of La Chorrera, you come to Mount Galeras ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galeras ), where the sun and galactic center align AT sunrise, December 21, 2012. So, there you have it, there is a location. See you there, Dec 21, 2012! :) results. The graph shows at what times, but never at what locations, novelty is increasing or decreasing..." from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novelty_theory .
