You Reap What You Sow

Time, the fourth dimension. Time created order. Order begot logic. Logic is the sixth sense.

At the auspice it would appear that Time and Logic could exist within society as pillars of knowledge and reason. However what society could not have realized is the ever evolving complexities associated with such realms of thought. Both Time and Logic have seemingly metastasized well beyond their original conceptions. However, one should not infer that their evolutions were congruent. 

Time is based on a simple concept. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The equivalent of one day. Days were then grouped into weeks and weeks into months and months into years. Within these groups patterns emerged in weather and harvest. Today this is considered common knowledge. While the Earth's Rotation is about one day and Earth's Orbit around the Sun is approximately 364.25 days; What about a day on another planet? Einstein's Theory of Relativity requires both that one's experience is only relative to their existence and that Time and Space are to be considered one in the same. How can something so simple as observing the Earth's rotation relative to the Sun could give rise to the beginnings of comprehending the very fabric of our existence? 

Logic is one's ability to make a decision. Decisions one makes based on their sensory experience are to be considered logical. The decisions one makes will inevitably dictate the course of one's life. The ability to learn from experience is a natural progression amongst many in the animal kingdom. The ability to learn and retain experiences allows for even greater honing of one's logical skill. Recognizing that storing experiences for others is a necessity language was evolved to include writing. Logic also gave rise to mathematics. Mathematics thrives on the ability to make decisions. The need to make decisions faster gave rise to calculators and calculators are to be consider the first decision engines. Logic is the backbone of modern computer programming. Whether or not one believes that an abacus or a slide rule is the first computer does not erode the fact that our need to make decisions and store the results of those decisions have fueled a continued thirst for knowledge, which has resulted in modern humans everyday interfacing with such decision precipitating devices. 

So Logically, if time was never conceived, How could one be in the right place?
