Art and classical science present options for transformations of observable phenomena. Rhythm is often associated with music, but in this thesis I consider it more generally as cyclic phenomena between two temporal points. If the rhythm is uncertain, changing, or complex, I consider it as a transformation from one time measure to another.

I define time rhythm as a sequence of ordered pairs of cardinal numbers and time units (such as "seconds" or "minutes.") I define "micro-scale number" as the scalar component of the ordered pair. This corresponds with perception of time as cyclic.

I present two artworks representing time rhythm: "Static & Enter" illustrates time rhythm. "Time Line" extends my thoughts. I argue that time rhythm incorporates classical approaches such as Aristotelian physical, Augustinian psychological, and Heideggerian existential perspectives. Time rhythm unifies these prior perspectives into a general

synthesis.

This thesis presents my meditations on time rhythm, and my personal journey of developing a deeper understanding and achieving a form of "enlightenment". The complex bond between me, an artist projecting his inner vision, and my artistic creations, which engender a psychological, personal, and spiritual response, themselves form a feedback loop that illustrates the cycle of time rhythm.
