nlt 2nd edition Do I have to do everything-NLT vs Non linear series

non-linear series analysis or non linear time series is one of those concepts which would predate Non-linear time were it not to have its roots buried in the late 1930's and early 1940's if not 2500 years ago.  The use of the phrase "non-linear time" is common only to the more recent analysis by me, of course, so I have to take some credit for the confusion this will cause when and if someone decides that NLT is good for something other than taking up space on the internet.
Of course, the model already answers so many questions (the partial list is on the book jacket and one of these blogs) that it has merit as a starting point even though it is far from an ending point.
Still these two things are different but similar.
One, non-linear series, is a well developed theory that, for lack of a better understanding, I'll say focuses on the "non-time dependent" aspects of a system (chemical, economic, etc).  I invite someone who has actually studied non-linear series to give the accurate description, I will merely take this little snippet and expound on it mercilessly as I do with everything else.  Later, time permitting, I will will delve more deeply into this area of confusion.
Non-linear time theory, on the other hand, says that everything in our universe is time dependent and therefore a discussion of the two would seem irrelevant, but it is not.  Eventually the two will meet somewhere and, after all, NLS, when applied to time, any series with linearity is equally apt for study, is really dealing just with standard clock time.  SCT from our point of reference is linear (all times from our point of reference are linear with possible exceptions (CT0 to be sure, but perhaps CT5 and 6).
The point is that certain aspects of a linear system are not time dependent.  You can take your name for example.  In your life it may not change, so it would appear time independent.  Of course, it does change, not just with age (sometimes growing shorter or longer, Bernard on the birth certificate to Bernie and then perhaps to Mr. Johnson with a shortcut to BJ during those pesky college years).
Now you are saying, "just get to the point" or more likely you have moved on to something relevant to your lives; but the point is hidden here.  NLT recognizes that time changes are important to every system from the perspective of NLT; while NLS recognizes that from a practical perspective the study of the irrelevance of quantum time fluctuations in favor of the more practical study of time as a given system has great merit.
It is a meeting point of two systems and where the systems meet there is much to be learned, just as two people meeting while traveling in different directions in a desert (emotional or sandy) can be expected to take a moment to exchange information for better or for worse.
Of course the people who study NLS are better trained classically than me and are dealing with a system far more developed than NLT (dependent of my limited free time until someone smart decides to take it up) so it seems like an NLS guy should take a shot at the differentiation; if not, perhaps, taking a few shots at the theory itself which has yet to be proved rugged enough to withstand full scrutiny.
A willingness to accept a lot of punishment is something shared by theories and by people in the desert.  And with that thought, I ask, "do I have to do everything?"
