Because today is different too.

Iteration

Regular as clockwork, the machinations of the universe tick away, from slow moving pendulum galaxies to the imperceptibly rapid electron vibrations. We keep moving, at least for the time being, until at last we wind down to the tune of entropy. All clocks are really programs, written in a vastly different language than those typed by keyboard. Whirling gears and twisting springs are all just if thens and for loops, marching down to specific outputs that can be written in water pumps or clock faces. It is just taking away a level of abstraction that we often forget is even there. The funny thing is, as the planetary gears turn iterative functions click over. The sun rises and sets smoothly with its daily iteration, the earth annually revolves around the sun, centuries, periods, and eras tick over. Each iteration brings its own change, some more dramatic and profound than others.
