A self-similar helix as a metaphor for continuous time with nested periodicity

2025-03-11

Abstract excerpt

Humans perceive time as both linear and circular, which is reflected in the dichotomous way we typically organize and visualize temporal information in science: as either time series or periodic plots. These seemingly incompatible perspectives can be reconciled with a helical representation of time. Helices have been underused as a visualization of temporal information, in part because two-dimensional visualizatio...
