McKenna saw the universe, in relation to novelty theory, as having a
teleological attractor at the end of time, which increases
interconnectedness and would eventually reach a singularity of infinite
complexity. He also frequently referred to this as "the transcendental
object at the end of time." When describing this model of the universe
he stated that: "The universe is not being pushed from behind. The
universe is being pulled from the future toward a goal that is as
inevitable as a marble reaching the bottom of a bowl when you release it
up near the rim. If you do that, you know the marble will roll down the
side of the bowl, down, down, down – until eventually it comes to rest
at the lowest energy state, which is the bottom of the bowl. That's
precisely my model of human history. I'm suggesting that the universe is
pulled toward a complex attractor that exists ahead of us in time, and
that our ever-accelerating speed through the phenomenal world of
connectivity and novelty is based on the fact that we are now very, very
close to the attractor."
