Epic & Opus — Paired Visions of Time

Epic & Opus — Paired Visions of Time: Cosmos • Bios • MythosThis edition pairs the mythic trilogy Cosmos, Bios & Mythos: The Saga of Beyond & a New World with the research work The Unfolding of Time: A Logarithmic Model for Astronomical, Biological, and Cultural Evolution.In the epic, Zoe and Tod step into a tunnel of light and journey through deep time—from cosmic birth to the rise of life and, finally, into the human story—guided by love, tested by mythic forces, and invited to reimagine their place in a living universe. The opus offers the counterpoint: a clear, interdisciplinary model showing how major thresholds—galaxies, rocky planets, life, and symbolic culture—emerge in rhythmic "pulses" when viewed on a logarithmic timescale.Presented wholecloth and in dialogue, story and study can be read in either order. Together they invite readers to feel and think time at once: a narrative odyssey matched with a framework that reveals the universe's layered rhythm of transformation.
