A New Tool to Study Complex Systems: The Natural Time
摘要
The largest problem facing science is time, not space. The representation of traditional time in real numbers is a 1D continuum, but this continuity is not predicated on any core idea. On the other hand, a new time field known as “natural time” (NT) was introduced more than 20 years ago. It is not continuous and its values fall into countable sets. Datasets can reveal hidden dynamic features by analyzing complex systems in NT.
