It seems more likely to me that all this complexity
is better directed toward the end of the cycle when, after billions of
years of
evolution,
everything finally comes together.
Alfred
North Whitehead proposed this same idea. He said that history grows
toward what he called a "nexus of completion." And these nexuses of completion
themselves grow together into what he called the "
concrescence."
A concrescence exerts a kind of attraction, which can be thought of as
the temporal equivalent of
gravity,
except all objects in the universe are drawn toward it through
time,
not space. As we approach the lip of this cascade
into concrescence, novelty, and completion, time seems to speed up and
boundaries
begin to dissolve. The more boundaries that dissolve, the closer to
the concrescence we are. When we finally reach it, there will be no boundaries,
only eternity as we become all space and time, alive and dead, here and
there, before and after. Because this
singularity
can simultaneously co-exist in states that are contradictory, it is something
which transcends rational apprehension. But it gives the universe meaning,
because all
processes
can be seen to be seeking and moving in an effort to approximate, connect
with, and append to this transcendental object at the end of time.
