Yeah, just knocked it up using my 3D software.  I've actually included the entire circle and you can see it extending through and past the axis (it was actually easier to do so) but just not bothered to show it all.  The origin of the axis is at the center of the circle, obviously, and all you need to do is extend them to cover the -ve ranges, but like I said, trying to work with -ve values doesn't make much sense.

Maybe not, but it might help me see your ideas.
And ideas are always welcome.

I've seen the idea of time taking out 'C' a couple of times but I've never really seen it visualized. As for what kind of 'universe' that might lead too I don't know. It's the other side of the mirror sort of

My own idea of it has always been that 'c' is the 'wall'. But maybe there is something on that 'other side' even though I'm having problem seeing it?

niel - You Wrote: "...perhaps God is a computer programmer!"  If so, then I will become an atheist. Back in the days of the pre-historic Intell 8088 we paraphrased shakespeare: "First, you kill all the programmers."  For instance, you might encounter a menu choice: Activate the Flux Capacitor [yes] [no]. Click on the help button and you get: "This turns the Flux Capacitor On or Off." Nothing much seems to have changed but the number of such choices presented. They seem to increase exponentially with every passing year.

PS: The continuous flow of time IS an illusion in very much the same way a motion picture at 36 frames per second seems to show continuous motion. At the Quantum level, I believe, just about everything seems to move in vastly small increments.

Exactly litespeed, and that's the very reason the "Present" is so elusive. The "Past" is history and the "Future" is that next increment. Never will we be able to capture the "Present" because those increments you speak of are limited to those from the "Past" and those from the "Future" ones to come.
