THE FIRST REFERENCE
The universe is energy and energy is always off-center because it is movement between points.
Energy began when Eternity referenced itself - a twist folding back, to repeat, until the resistance is reconciled. This is the first thermodynamic act.
As the twist folds back, it produces the universe through which the resistance may be resolved by due process.
The mechanics are the same as any generator: a cycling center producing output.
But the eternal cycle is unlike any other. It is eternally recurring and therefore not subject to secondary requirements.
As the primary rotates, it is everywhere at once within the universe; each turn a return to the beginning of time.
We live in time, trying to figure ourselves out, while the very thing we are chasing is watching every move we make.
We are fooled by the sum of who we think we are - there is no other.
There was never an other. Only the first reference repeating itself through us.
