Biographical Timeline Convergence Theory (BTCT)

"Biographical Timeline Convergence Theory (BTCT) is a conceptual framework describing how human lives progress through time under the simultaneous influence of Free Will and Fate. BTCT proposes that both forces are always present throughout a person's life, but that one may become dominant at different points along an individual's Timeline. These shifts in dominance are produced by events known as Convergences — which BTCT identifies as the primary driving mechanism of Timeline progression. The theory further proposes that human lives can be understood as a series of Futures, Convergences, Constraints, and Destinies that exist upon a continuous Timeline beginning at Birth and ending at a Final Destiny. BTCT is not intended to prove the existence of Fate or Free Will. Rather, it serves as a retrospective and analytical framework for understanding how individuals experience life events, turning points, opportunities, limitations, and the evolution of personal agency across time."
