The principal device of the Timewave Zero theory is a fractal function (constructed using numerical values derived from the King Wen Sequence of I Ching hexagrams) which maps time onto 'novelty'. This theory was developed by Terence McKenna (1946-2000) from the early 1970s to the late 1990s, and was first described by him in the book The Invisible Landscape (1974), written with his brother Dennis. This theory follows from
the "revealed" axiom that all phenomena are at root constellated by a wave form which is the hierarchical summation of its constituent parts, morphogenetic patterns related to those in DNA. ... We argue that the theory of the hyperspatial nature of superconductive bonds, and the experiment we devised to test that theory, yielded ... a modular wave-hierarchy theory of the nature of time that we have been able to construe, using a particular mathematical treatment of the I Ching, into a general theory of systems, which illuminates the nature of time and organism and provides an idea model which explains the interconnection of physical and psychological phenomena from the submolecular to the macrocosmic level. — Dennis and Terence McKenna, The Invisible Landscape, original (1975) edition, pp. 101-103
... and we have assumed the most recent such epoch to have begun in
1945. The end of World War II and the development of atomic weapons and
their use in war are forms of novelty whose appearance attended the
shift of epochs that created the post modern world. If our understanding
is correct, then the same 67+-year cycle at, or near, the end of a 4300
year cycle will terminate around the year 2012 ... — Op.cit., pp. 124

During 1986-1999 Peter Meyer developed software to illustrate and explore the theory of Timewave Zero.
He developed this software in collaboration with Terence McKenna, and had many discussions with him during 1986-1994 about the theory. It was first developed as Apple //e software and later (in 1989) ported to MS-DOS. In its final form, Fractal Time (version 7.10), this software runs under Windows. It is now available on CD-ROM, along with about twenty articles concerning Timewave Zero and related subjects.
There is a large amount of misinformation on the web concerning Timewave Zero. This CD-ROM is the primary and most complete source for accurate and reliable information on this subject. Any claim made on any website about Timewave Zero which is not supported by what is on this CD-ROM is probably not true.
