The Linear Arrow of Time folded into a Peano Curve

     The concept of cause and effect has created a linear model of Time...Time's arrow...this unraveling of Time, like a ball of string, requires infinite space. If the space is confined, as in our skull, like the brain, the linear arrow of Time folds to pack itself within the finite space. This is like a Peano curve...the curious situation that arises, is when there are short circuits...in space...that tangle the linear unfolding of Time's arrow...or is it Time's ball of string (like Ariadne's)...these are links in between the folding/unfolding Peano curve...which, in the theory of networks...creates small worlds...not the expansive, infinite world that is required for the unfolding of Time's arrow.

 

When the short circuiting happens in space, what happens to cause and effect and the linear model...and entropy?...this is why feedback systems...which may be different from short-circuited systems...and non-linear systems have fascinated scientists. Time may unfold...if it does so in finite space...say, within effective system boundaries...there are chances for it to become entangled and present itself to alternate readings...
