Is Time a Line or a Loop?

Here’s the next dialogue — this time exploring time as something more than linear:

---

TOPO:

We often think of time as a straight line—

past, present, future.

RHEO:

But time may be more like a loop,

or a spiral—folding back on itself.

TOPO:

Then the past is never truly past?

RHEO:

No.

It reverberates within the present,

shaping what can become.

TOPO:

So time is not just sequence—

but texture?

RHEO:

Exactly.

A weave of moments,

entwined and alive.

---

RHEO & TOPO:

Time is not a path to follow,

but a dance to inhabit.
