The questions of time and space have long fascinated thinkers from a variety of fields. I am also interested in these questions and in issues relating to them. In particular, I am interested in "non-locality" and "fluctuations" on both space and time. These two factors have shown rather unexpected behaviors. I am currently working on how to map these concepts, which are normally considered in space, onto the time axis. I am approaching this question by considering simple models derived from physics, mathematics, economics, biological systems, and computational systems.
