Time Comparison in Sport
When the London Olympics took place in 2012, the world watched athletes chase times measured to the hundredth of a second. Yet long before modern timing existed, patterns already guided how people understood performance. The ancient Chinese, for example, recognised the structure of the Pascal Triangle thousands of years ago — a pattern that mirrors the progression of running distances.
They had no instruments for timing, no way to record seconds or fractions of seconds. But they still competed, at the very least against animals, and judged performance through relationships: faster or slower, ahead or behind, stronger or weaker.
Today we race in countless ways, and every performance is tied to a precise second — a numerical echo of the same pattern the ancients once saw only through form. What they understood through shapes, we now express through time.
The difference between traditional scientific calculation and EP-calculation lies in how each sees the world. Science relies on formulas: fixed expressions that move forward in a straight, linear fashion. EP-Calculation, however, understands phenomena through patterns and shapes.
Formulas do not naturally lead from one event to the next. They give a result, but they do not reveal the path. That is why, for example, calculating a world‑record time purely through a formula remains out of reach — the formula stops where the phenomenon continues.
Science can be pictured as a straight track, like the 100‑ and 200‑metre lanes on an athletics field. It advances directly, one step after another. EP-calculation bends, curves and follows the phenomenon itself, much like the long‑distance running lanes that arc around the stadium. And by curving, it leads naturally onto the curves of real phenomena — the shapes where nature actually lives.
