I agree with you that time is change. I also liked the use of Taoist philosophy in your idea and in the simplicity and humbleness of your paper. Best of luck with your book.

Dear Matthew,

Beautiful: “In summary - time is the medium of change which allows form to manifest from the unmanifested.” I hope that time will allow your book to become manifest.

Best wishes,
