What I think should be recognized as my fundamental discoveries of nature

• Growth trends usually locate the emergence of  new complex systems developing  new internalized loops of relationships, and that growth always destabilizes its own structure, all recognizable from reading the connections between the data points in measures of change as perpendicular to the page.
• The four signs of change, iidd.htm
• Natural time flows in the direction of events (and is not a location on a scale like our accounting scheme)
  
• Clear evidence of organized molecular motion
• Economic growth as a long range plan is a profound mistake, probably  resulting from thinking the earth is an image.

• Derivative reconstruction and related shape analysis tools, 1999 paper
• The step variance test for random walk in sequential data, 1999 paper
• Irregularity in data is usually an indication of poorly represented fluctuation, not noise

• Gamma Ray bursts have intricate detail, and are apparently the result of cosmic implosions, most likely from black hole formation. 
  --note that this conclusion was reached by shape analysis long before astrophysicists reached the same conclusion by other methods.
• If there ever was an economic growth constant , it preceded 1880. The appearance of a growth constant since then has apparently been just an artifact of the statistical method used, since, with only one exception, the rate of economic growth has been in continual decline throughout the history of the statistical record. The statistical appearance of a sustained growth rate comes from a combination of short term variability, and the presence of one significant rise.
• Biological evolution sometimes occurs by a growth process rather than just following a random drift or varying environmental pressures.  This shows that the gaps in the record of evolution could be explained by the kind of complex system development process which accounts for system organization elsewhere.
• Changes in earth surface temperature and rates of economic activity (producing CO2) over the past 100 years exhibit differing dynamics that suggest that other factors have been dominant in climate change.  Over the past 30 years their accelerations of change appear linked in appearing to have several matching turning points, though the directions of each trend is still quite different.
  -- this is dated but worth considering in refining the understanding of the link
