Precepts of novelty theory
Novelty theory has a few basic tenets:
This End of History was to be the final manifestation of The Eschaton, which McKenna characterized as a sort of strange attractor towards
which the evolution of the universe developed.
His predictions for this transcendent event were wide ranging and varied, depending on his audience, and different times he conjectured the
following: the mass of humanity would, by means of some technology, become mentally conjoined in a great collective; the moment in which
time travel became a reality; the birth of self-conscious artificial intelligence; a global UFO visitation; and occasionally he even expressed doubt
whether anything at all would happen. However, McKenna claimed that there was no contradiction between these scenarios, as they might all
happen simultaneously.

Precepts of novelty theory
Novelty theory has a few basic tenets:
- That the universe is a living system with a teleological attractor at the end of time that drives the increase and conservation of
complexity in material forms. - That novelty and complexity increase over time, despite repeated set-backs.
- That the human brain represents the pinnacle of complex organization in the known universe to date.
- That fluctuations in novelty over time are self-similar at different scales. Thus the rise and fall of the Roman Empire might be resonant
with the life of a family within a single generation, or with an individual's day at work. - That as the complexity and sophistication of human thought and culture increase, universal novelty approaches a Koch curve of infinite
exponential growth. - That in the time immediately prior to, and during this omega point of infinite novelty, anything and everything conceivable to the human
imagination will occur simultaneously. - That the date of this historical endpoint is December 21, 2012, the end of the long count of the Mayan calendar. Originally McKenna had
chosen the end of the calendar by looking for a very novel event in recent history, and using this as the beginning of the final 67.29 year
cycle; the event he chose was the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, which gave an end-date in mid-November of 2012, but when he
discovered the proximity of this date to the end of the current 13-baktun cycle of the Maya calendar, he adjusted the end date to match
this point in the calendar.

Novelty theory attempts to calculate the ebb and flow of novelty in the
universe as an inherent quality of time. It is an idea conceived of and
discussed at length by Terence McKenna from the early 1970s until
his death in the year 2000. Novelty theory involves ontology,
morphogenesis, and eschatology. Novelty, in this context, can be
thought of as newness, density of complexification, and dynamic
change as opposed to static habituation. According to McKenna,
when "novelty" is graphed over time, a fractal waveform known as
timewave zero or simply the timewave results. The graph shows at
what times, but never at what locations, novelty is increasing or
decreasing. According to the timewave graph, great periods of
novelty occurred about 4 billion years ago when Earth was formed,
65 million years ago when dinosaurs were extinct and mammals
expanded, about 10,000 years ago after the end of the ice age,
around late 18th century when social and scientific revolutions
progressed, during the sixties, around the time of 9/11, and with
coming novelty periods in November 2008, October 2010, with the
novelty progressing towards the infinity on 21st December 2012.

Brief account
The timewave itself is a combination of numerology and mathematics. It is formed out of McKenna's
interpretation and analysis of numerical patterns in the King Wen sequence of the I Ching (the ancient
Chinese Book of Changes). This concept first took root in his entheogenic experiences shared by him
and his brother Dennis McKenna as documented in the book The Invisible Landscape: Mind,
Hallucinogens, and the I Ching. The theory is clearly based in numerology and takes shape out of
McKenna's belief that the sequence is artificially arranged as such purposefully. Mathematically, the
sequence is graphed according to a set of mathematical ratios, and displays a fractal nature as well as
resonances although it was not captured in a true formula until criticism from mathematician Matthew
Watkins. McKenna interpreted the fractal nature and resonances of the wave, as well as his theory of the
I Ching's artificial arrangement, to show that the events of any given time are recursively related to the
events of other times.
As the theory was never published in a peer-reviewed journal and McKenna's sources and reasoning
were primarily what would be considered numerological rather than mathematical by professional
mathematicians and scientists, the theory has failed to gain any (scientific) credibility or much
recognition. However, McKenna was highly critical of such fields for adhering to what he saw as a flawed
Occidental paradigm, and did not seek to create a theory acceptable to the mathematical community.
The theory was, however, revised by nuclear physicist John Sheliak after a flaw was discovered by
Matthew Watkins. The new revision is often referred to as Timewave One, but is also included in the set
of alternate waves in the Timewave Zero software. It is claimed that this new version is more closely
matched to history.

Terence Kemp McKenna (11/16/1946
– 4/3/2000) was a writer, philosopher,
and ethnobotanist. He was noted for
his many speculations on the use of
psychedelic, plant-based
hallucinogens, and subjects ranging
from shamanism, the development of
human consciousness, and novelty
theory.
