Our Systems
Timefulism
A New Geography
Recognizing that reliance on GPS tends to divorce us from the broader context of space, this is a system that divides the Earth into 64 squares, created by the intersections of 8 lines of longitude (180 W/E, 135W, 90W, 45 W, 0, 45E, 90E, 135E) with 7 lines of latitude (67.5N, 45N, 22.5N, 0, 22.5S, 45S, 67.5S). Each square is subdivided into a further 64 squares, such that any location on earth can be identified by a series of squares. Rituals relating to the new geography can remind us of our shared home and also of the connection between space and time, as the Earth itself functions as a clock, by counting out the days and the years.
A Calendar of Contemplation
Using a time compression algorithm, we have mapped the entire life-span of the universe onto a 365-day year, such that January 1 covers nearly the first billion years of the universe, and the last few days of the year each covers a bit more than the previous year. Thus, any given day of the year can be a “day of contemplation,” when we sit back and contemplate what was happening during the day’s correponding historical period and how it helped bring us to where we are today. This supports the mission by bringing people together in contemplation, gratitude, and/or awe of the events that have shaped our world.
A Clock of Moments
This "clock" breaks the waking day into discrete "moments" of 15 minutes each, and marking transitions between moments, as opposed to simply letting time run by. Drawing on Traditional Japanese Time, the transitions between 2-hour periods receive special attention. Each 15 minute “moment” of time has various associations that provide fuel for contemplation during the slice itself and during transitions. The goal is to help us develop a more concrete and personalized relationship with our time, arguably our most precious possession. Rituals relating to the clock of moments can remind us that we all live in and share the same moments of time.
A new Astronomy
This an extrapolation of the “New Geography,” and is based on a parallel recognition that reliance on star-gazing apps causes us to lose touch with the broader context of what we are looking at. The star map is an imaginary sphere with the sun at the center, as used in the galactic coordinate system. The sphere, and thus the universe, is divided into 64 fixed “squares” or “windows” such that (1) any given fixed star (and therefore any constellation) has a precise and fixed location within any given window (discounting the drift that will inevitably occur as the sun completes its orbit around the Milky Way), (2) the windows visible from a given location on Earth will change as the Earth orbits the sun.
