I. The Law of Similarity

Time and Gravity

operate under mechanisms that are similar, but not the same.
Understanding the operations of one system leads to an
understanding of how the other system operates.

2
II. The Law of Relevance

Understanding the
relevance of this similarity is key to understanding,
comprehending and successfully developing, utilizing and
organizing technologies based upon this knowledge.

III. The Law of Dissociation

To perfect an
understanding of Time as a quantifiable entity, one must first be
able to dissociate it from its entanglements in Space, Matter and
Gravity.

3
IV. The Law of Quantifiability

Any entity or substance that can be

Quantified can also be Volumized.

V. The Law of Volumization

Any entity or substance that has been

Volumized can also be Containerized, provided that adequate
containment vessels can be found or developed.

4
VI. The Law of Containment

To perfectly contain any

substance, its container must be designed and produced in
accordance with the specifications of the substance to be contained,
i.e., containers designed to hold liquids must be watertight,
containers designed to hold gases must be airtight, etc. The entity
known as Time is no exception to this rule.

VII. The Law of Usability

For any Container of Time to be

truly usable, it must have equally accessible and quick loading and
unloading capabilities.

5
VII. The Law of Temporality

All Containers of Time are

divided into two categories: (a) Permanent and (b) Temporary.
Permanent Containers are those capable of being refilled at their
owner’s discretion while in use, or of being depleted and filled
again, as in the case of inorganic containment devices. Temporary
Containers are those designed for one-use only, and having been
depleted of their contents, are no longer useful containment vessels
and thus subject to disposal.

6
IX. The Law of Disposability

For any Temporary

Container of Time to be truly functional from an economic
standpoint, it must have several properties:
A. It must shrink in outward volume as its inner contents are
depleted
B. It must be biodegradable when all contents have been emptied
C. It must have storage capabilities similar to those of both an
electric battery (predictable content shelf-life and steady-flow
delivery for low-volume, long-term continuing use) and a capacitor
(instant downloading of all remaining contents in the event of
premature termination of the container).
D. At the end of its term of use, the Container must be capable of
completely disintegrating, in order to negate any further necessity
for economically disadvantageous storage requirements for empty
Containers.
These properties, taken together, constitute the Law of
Disposability regarding all Temporary Containers of Time that are
not engineered for and thus destined for re-use.

7
X. The Law of Ownership

The contents of any

Container of Time are owned by its current Holder in Due Course,
however the Holder may have come into possession.

XI. The Law of Sovereignty

If the Holder in Due Course of a

given Container of Time is the original Sovereign Assignee, the
Sovereign’s title to the Property takes precedence over any claims
brought forward against the Property by any other Claimant unless
adjudicated otherwise by an authorized operation of recognized
Law.

8
XII. The Law of Assignability

If a Sovereign Assignee shall

be dispossessed of his rights to the Property by legal means, the
Property must nevertheless be conveyed by a signature in writing
on an authorized Instrument of Conveyance, acknowledging
transfer of the Property from the Assignee to the Claimant.

XIII. The Law of Possession

In an instance of illegal
possession of the Property, whether so obtained by fraud, deception,
theft or premature termination of the Sovereign Assignee for the
purpose of harvesting the Property, the Claimant has de facto
temporary title to the Property until the Sovereign or the Estate of
the Sovereign(s) comes forward to rebut the Claim and retrieve the
Property by an operation of Salvage.

9
XIV. The Law of Salvage

The International Law

of the Sea promulgation on the Rules of Salvage applies equally to
the Property in dispute in the above instance.

XV. The Law of Denominating

Time, when separated from its

original Container, or when generated by other means, becomes a
commodity that has a market value placed upon it by current
market conditions. Thus, it is subject to weights and measures, as is
the case with any other commodity, i.e., bushels of wheat, gallons
of oil, ounces of gold, etc. In the case of Time, the total amount of
Time contained in any given original Container is known as a
Stick; this unit is further broken down for measurement purposes

10
into Centuries, Decades, Years, Months, Weeks, Days, Hours,
Minutes and Seconds. The actual composition of these units will
vary according to local regulations from venue to venue, i.e., troy
ounces vs. metric measurements of weight. The Stick is the unit
used when bundling the Property for commercial purposes, and
must be accurately labeled according to its measured contents
before being conveyed to a third party.

XVI. The Law of Commerce in Bundled Time

Bundles of
Time, handled in bulk physical form, may be conveyed in
commercial transactions between willing Parties. Buyer must
present acceptable Use of Proceeds to the Exchange governing the
transaction in order for the transaction to be approved, and Seller
must produce acceptable provenance to the Exchange in order to
obtain Certification of Ownership for the Property (Bundle of
Time) being conveyed. The price paid is that posted on the
Exchange on the date of closing, quoted in a currency acceptable to
both Parties.
