Introduction: Our proposed model for cosmic consciousness is made from a cellular dynamical network (CDN), a new category of discrete mathematical model.1 From a master CDN in the abstract universe outside of space and time | called QX, corresponding to the subtle akasha, henceforth simply akasha | we construct another CDN | called ST, corresponding to the gross akasha, henceforth simply spacetime, the phenomenal world of space, time, matter, motion, and multi-leveled cosmic consciousness | in a process we have called condensation. In this work we extend our recent book with an explicit discussion of the construction of time as a sequential, discrete, or step-wise, process.

We begin with a review of the historical background of atomism and discrete time from the East (Buddhism and Vedanta) and the West (from Pythagoras to the Renaissance), with special attention to the 16th century philosopher Giordano Bruno, one of the last of the atomists to include spirit or soul in his cosmology.
