The Quintographical Theory of Time

Taken directly from Kenny Middleton's The Quintographical Universe (1890).

Now let the third primordial postulate be, that it is understood that time is symmetrical onto itself, its symmetry laying upon one axis alone. The symmetry of time is almost self-evident, if we consider the alternative theories of time. If the flow of time, change and evolution of matter in the universe, did not follow a symmetrical pattern, then necessarily time, would be unbalanced, a proposition preposterous, for one side of time would fall down, and by this very day to-day, time would have already collapsed. Be it that the nature of time, is that it is only somewhat unbalanced, that it has not collapsed yet, but shall collapse some day, then its centre of mass ought to be determined, a difficult task of empirical nature, therefore the simpler hypothesis ought to be postulated.

As the symmetry of time has been established, the matter of its symmetry falling upon a single axis, follows naturally. All events in the universe occur in cycles, singularly symmetrical, though time itself is not inferior, but superior to all other cycles. Evident from the orbits of the planets, the life cycle of man, the reverberation of all waves through matter, the opposing dynamic between spirits manifesting too as a cycle, this postulate adequately paints time in a light not seen before: its single-axial and non-orthogonal nature.
