MTABS time progression was based on the idea of an hourglass progression in the development of humanity. It is now clear that the neck of the hourglass maps to the first utilization of nuclear fusion for energy (possibly the first engineering net energy gain). Nuclear fusion (of one form or another) will likely be the main way we get energy for millions of years to come. Based on MTABS logic usage of nuclear fusion by humanity will naturally progress through at least stages:
After that, the logic that followed MTABS predicts us moving to more advanced sources of energy, of which we are not yet sure (could be for example anti-matter, dark-energy, harnessing black holes, or just plain reducing the sizes of stars at risk of going novae or supernovae).
The original MTABS model definition only projects forward but the expected progression also goes backward at roughly the same pace....
Updated 8/27/2024 ...The order of magnitude increase was introduced to signify progressively longer periods of time in which we'll find ourselves in (or have found ourselves in the past). The constant of 7 was picked in order to find the best pace possible at which we could progress forward.
The key deciding factor was the timeframe for introducing Solar System-external, dry surface-based civilizations to our (at least seemly) vacant lots of Venus and Mars. We would have to be ready in time and at the same time, given the constant presence of cosmic calamities around us, we wouldn't take too much time before it would be too late to help civilizations on the brink of extinction. The assumption was made that the lower bound for this period was 300 years and the upper bound was 1,000 years. Thus 700 years from now was picked as the "middle of the road" timeframe that would be acceptable to both (expecting only one arrival at a time, with the second coming later) parties.
The timeframe was specified largely on the inspiration of an incoming dream and subsequent ideas and the need to help others survive. However, it also makes sense on a purely logical level - as soon as a civilization with nearby vacant lots is capable of existing with other civilization(s) in the same star system it will be asked to do so, simply because there is always a civilization in need due to constantly on-going stellar events that threaten its existence.
The expected existence of (possibly technologically) intelligent species within the Solar System factored in as something that needs to be addressed before the introduction of "other children from burnt-out houses". Thus the timeframe of 70-700 years from now was introduced, with the necessary preparations for it coming in at 0-70 years.
Logically, introducing aquatic (and thus non-territorially conflicting) species to Earth would prepare us for co-habitation of the Solar System "house". The external (to our Solar System) civilizations would be dry surface-based but would be safely separated from us by being on other planets. The aquatics to be introduced to our own oceans would co-habit the planet ("room") with us. However, they are not to inhabit the continents, thus preventing the predicted fight to extermination between dry surface-based intelligent species.
MTABS argues that there are (near and, as added in the notes, at least in the case of Pluto fully) technologically intelligent aquatics. From that, the logic follows that the morally right thing to do is to "show them God's Light" and give them a chance to eventually develop space-faring civilizations. The argument also assumes that the gains would be mutual and that the Earth would gain custodians of the oceans that would protect them from overuse and mismanagement. On top of that, working with the less technologically advanced aquatics before the arrival of more technologically advanced "housemates" would ease us into the coming conditions.
MTABS logic assumes that we have several (potentially) technologically intelligent aquatic species in oceans of various moons/dwarf planets. This implies that some of them will be more advanced and thus more territorially aggressive (or just plain old more aggressive). The logical assumption then is to first populate less advanced aquatics and more peaceful aquatics to ensure that they will have a place in the (what is assumed to necessarily be) balance of forces in the extraterrestrially populated parts of the oceans.
As is apparent now, the general progression is split up into 3 Ages:
It is important to note that MTABS theory is generally bound in dimension, space and time. It does not deal with multi-dimensional multi-verses, or parallel Earths in our dimension (alike or purposeful), or the polka dot universe theory, even though its imagery may be referenced (likely with divine inspiration). In terms of space, in its farthest abstract reaches, it does not go past joining the collective contributions to gravitational security of our galaxy relative to the local gravitational center. As a long term, though unsure goal it deals with the possible collision with Andromeda. Realistically, it reaches only to early-stage contribution to intra-Galactic safety.
In terms of time it only briefly mentions the eternal Sun, very hypothetically mentioning lifespan extendability to a trillion years. It does not at all touch the theoretical cycle of universes (scarily finite or indefinitely extended based on continuous improvement). At an abstract level, it doesn't extend out past single digits of billions of years in possible Galaxy-cooperative (as a one of large multitude) future contributions positioning of our Galaxy with respect to the local gravitational center. More concretely the model is bound to the humanity-specific, hour-glass like development story, with a likely necessary mentioned transition to a much longer period of service of the greater galactic community.
The now understood, though initially specified, bounds of MTABS deal with making safe and eventually collaboratively securing the Earth, the Solar System and the Sun and by extension eventual, appropriate and collaborative contribution to these efforts while in service of others. Its backward modeling starts at (or really not far back of it, at arrival of primates) the extinction event which led to the eventual rise of the Human Race. Thus, following the symmetry of the model it does not attempt to approximate the related development vector past 70 million years into the future. At that time the breadth of possible outcomes is very vast and the safety and security dynamics in our regional, or even sub-galactic level may change, possibly even drastically. We are also assumed to have gone through a "pre-leading" direct (though not interfering, minor and responsible party level) involvement in co-raising (to spacefaring capabilities and beyond) up to a few other species (assuming ?beyond our star system?) and the subsequent "proto-leading" indirect involvement (one level above direct involvement).
NTV - No threat of Violence
| Phase | Enery | Resources | Humanity NTV | Aquatics progress and NTV |
| 1 | Moving away from fossil fuels and migration to heavy-water based nuclear fusion | Early trials of Solar-System non-renewable non-fuel resources | Reducing the Threat of Violence at international level | Preparing for introduction of Solar System native intelligent aquatic species to Earth |
| 2 | Full shift to Earth-based deuterium fusion | Moving to partial usage of Solar-System non-renewable resources | Establishing No Threat of Violence to various degrees at different international levels | Population of the first aquatic species with No human-to-aquatic Threat of Violence |
| 3 | Moving to Solar-system based fusion fuel | Partial usage of Solar-System non-renewables | Expansion of No Threat of Violence on all international levels | Population of additional aquatics in a controlled, separated manner, building on early experience of No human-to-aquatic Threat of Violence |
| 4 | Full shift away from Earth-based deuterium fusion | Moving to full Solar System-based non-renewable usage | Ensuring No Threat of Violence at wider dry-surface levels | Establishing no Threat of Violence between aquatics |
| 5 | Full shift away from Earth-based non-renewables | Establishment of non-violence on the dry surface of Earth | Expansion of No Threat of Violence between the aquatics |
Added: 2/12/2025 NOTE: With progression of technology, materials science and reduction in scarcity the bulk of most Earth-bases resources is expected to become re-claimable. However, the amount of resources needed for extra-planetary space projects is expected to continuously increase with each Phase. These space bound resources (along with the remaining non-renewable and scarce resources) are considered non-renewable and are expected to increasingly be extracted from asteroids and possibly other space sources.
The Second Age consists of with Phase 3 (population of additional aquatics, initial population of Venus and Mars), Phase 4 (taking care of the Solar System, in a collective fashion), Phase 5 (utilizing the resources of the Solar System to grow our combined industrial capacities and technological abilities) and Phase 6 (setting up Solar System infrastructure and ensuring safety of the Solar System's populated planets and their biospheres).
The Third Age consists of Phase 5 (early Sun management), Phase 6 (initial management of Sun's surface) and Phase 7 (extracting heavier elements from the Sun's core, finally achieving its eternity and the associated eternity of the Solar System and Earth).
Updated: 11/25/2024 As is now apparent, before ensuring safety of the Sun we must first be safe ourselves. From that the additional societal progression has emerged. It deals with the threat of violence and eventually no violence. Per the MTABS model, the final arrival at a dry-surface-planetary society without (non-accidental and non-wildlife interacting, though by then myelophones might exist) violence is expected to happen at the end of Phase 5 (~700,000 years from now) and roughly aligns with our existing progression backwards in time, from a Proto-Human Physical State to a Human Physical State. The associated mental and spiritual progressions also deal with the societal problem of violence. To keep us from completely "going soft" the safety (and eventually security) concerns are externalized into space. Non-long-term-occupational (anything beyond an acute occurrence), increasingly more widely and inclusively collaborative NLNM across planets and eventually across Star Systems may also be a viable option to "keep us going". Really whatever works to ensure our continous two-gender, family oriented existence. ☯ Given the contemporary (perhaps naturally occuring at the neck of the timescale progression) societal (d)evolutionary steps we must believe that with God's help we will (as a general, non-totalitarian but ever-improving rule) keep on progressing in a balanced and wholly way. 🙏
Updated: 11/26/2024 Moreover, we should not forget about security and understand that men are needed for taking on physically hard tasks where speaking the truth and doing the right thing is part of the job description. And afterall, men that served (in large numbers and in NLNM functions) would fulfill a long-present critical duty, be fulfilled themselves and be the ones that would secure our evolution to the non-violent ways in everyday life.
The above-mentioned Ages interweave in different Phases and Linked: 8/27/2024 also combine with the progression of the balance of forces, safety, and security at planetary, Solar System, Updated: 8/27/2024 sub-Galactic, and Galactic levels.
