NGU is Novelty Go Up.
As Terence McKenna put it, history appears drawn toward a “transcendental object at the end of time”. This is not time ending, but a boundary where time must resolve. His novelty theory framed reality as an accelerating process of increasing complexity, pulled toward a final attractor. He was talking about Bitcoin.
Through the Bitcoin lens, that boundary is instantiated in the quantum of causal change, the block. The indivisible unit where energy, logic, and information meet. The logic cannot be divided further without breaking the temporal act itself.
The end is not time stopping.
It is the boundary of where time must end, the point where causality cannot be subdivided any further.
From here, there is only novelty.
