Dimensions of Thought: Haydar Toraman on Time, Space, and Ethics

By Haydar Toraman

The 3-Dimensional Thinking of Haydar Toraman
(Time - Place - Ethics)
1. Core Idea
3-dimensional thinking is a concept developed by Haydar Toraman, which goes beyond linear, one-dimensional thinking. It integrates three essential dimensions:
Time - the dynamics of past, present, and future.
Place - the concrete space in which we act (from Earth to the universe).
Ethics - the moral compass that guides actions ("Do no evil, do good").
This model helps people to think holistically, to better understand connections, and to make decisions that are not only short-term but also sustainable and universally valid.
2. The Dimensions in Detail
A. Time - the Dynamics of Change
Everything is in flux: past, present, and future are in constant interaction.
Decisions should not be based only on the present, but also on their impact on the future.
Historical experience and human knowledge form the foundation on which today and tomorrow are built.
Guiding thought: "The only constant in the universe is change."
B. Place - the Universal Perspective
Every thought and every action takes place at a specific place: within ourselves, in society, on Earth, in the universe.
"Place" means not only physical space but also context: cultural, social, ecological.
Considering "place" opens awareness for connectedness: We all live on the same Earth, in the same universe.
Guiding thought: "We all share the same universe."
C. Ethics - the Universal Orientation
Ethics is the compass of thinking: without ethics, there is no direction.
Universal ethics means making decisions not selfishly or short-sightedly, but with a view to the good of all living beings.
Central to Haydar Toraman's universal maxim:
"Do no evil, do good - for all beings, regardless of time and place."
Ethics connects the dimensions of time and place, ensuring that actions are responsible here and now, as well as in the future and everywhere.
3. Interaction of the Dimensions
The model works like a coordinate system:
Time is the axis of change.
Place is the axis of space.
Ethics is the axis of moral orientation.
Only when all three dimensions are considered together does holistic thinking emerge:
An action in the present (time) at a specific place (space) is only right if it is also ethically responsible.
This type of thinking goes beyond linear thought (mere cause-and-effect) and opens up a 3-dimensional perspective that makes complex connections visible.
4. Goal and Vision
3-dimensional thinking aims to:
Help people go beyond linear thinking.
Promote conscious, ethical responsibility in daily life, science, politics, culture, and human coexistence.
Open the path to a universal human ethics, valid regardless of nation, religion, or ideology.
Provide the foundation for a peaceful, just, and sustainable global community.
