The 1,000-Year Current
Surface waves move in seconds. Tides move in hours. But the "global conveyor belt" (thermohaline circulation) moves deep water around the planet on a millennial scale. Water sinking in the North Atlantic today will not resurface in the Pacific until the year 3025.
This is Abyssal Time. It is the time scale of geology, of forests, and of true infrastructure. The market operates on surface time (quarterly returns). Civilization operates on abyssal time.
Against Speed
Digital culture fetishizes speed ("Move Fast and Break Things"). Myceloom argues that foundational systems must move slowly. If the foundation moves as fast as the fashion, the building collapses. We need "Abyssal Layers" of code—protocols that are deliberately difficult to change, insulating the system from the turbulence of the surface.
