... Hayley began his chapter on metalaw with the rather shocking statement that "the indefinite projection of anthropocentric law beyond the planet Earth would be the most calamitous act man could perform in his dealing with the cosmos." In his view, metalaw, which he defines as dealing "with all frames of existence-- with sapient beings different in kind" from humans, could not simply be an extension of international law. Instead of the usual Golden Rule, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you," Hayley proposed the Rule of Metalaw, sometimes called the Interstellar Golden Rule: "We must do unto others as they would have done into them," in other words, we must act as aliens want us to act.

I want to fact check this and everything, but I love the idea that this updated golden rule I only learned as an adult might be a product of someone trying to extend greater sentience and autonomy to hypothetical aliens than we do to beings on our own planet. Or, less cynically, that thinking about the cosmos as an opportunity to do better, this allowed him to consider universality with a wider lens.

UNIQUITY and Your Safety at Work or School

Ever found yourself in a crowded office or a quiet campus library, desperately needing to blast some Sludge Doom or Math Rock to power through a deadline, but fearing the judgment if the "Mute" button failed you?

Welcome to the UNIQUITY sonic universe—where the music dives into the "academic head" of quantum mechanics and the "blues heart" of human emotion, all while staying strictly "HR-approved" and "Professor-friendly." Whether you are navigating the Holiday Extension EP, the Parallax Trilogy (The Superposition Blues, The Temporal Blues, and Parallax), or any subsequent Uniquity release, you are safe to hit "Play" on the speakers.

The Vibe Check: Work & College Life Edition

UNIQUITY (Safe for Office/Dorm)

Pro:

Academic Camouflage: Makes you look like you’re calculating gravitational lensing or studying for a Relativity exam.

Con:

The Philosophical Rabbit Hole: You might accidentally solve "The Grandfather Paradox" instead of finishing your Quarterly Report or Biology lab.

The "Explicit" Playlist

Pro:

Raw Energy: Great for a solo gym session, high risk for a group project meeting.

Con:

The Red-Faced Skip: That frantic scramble to change the song when your boss or RA walks in during a particularly vocal verse.

UNIQUITY

Pro:

Intellectual Stimulation: High-energy Psychedelic Blues-Rock that keeps your brain firing during a 2:00 AM cram session.

Con:

The Distant Look: Coworkers and roommates might wonder why you’re staring into the distance contemplating "Spaghettification."

The "Explicit" Playlist

Pro:

Total Freedom: Unfiltered creative expression, but keep the volume low.

Con:

The HR/Dean Call: A mandatory meeting regarding "lyrical choices" and "community standards."

Top Activities for Open Listening

Because UNIQUITY blends complex, "mathy" grooves with clean, professional delivery, here are the activities you can openly enjoy without headphones:

The Physics Lab Soundtrack: Blast "Singularity" or "Absolute Blur" while running experiments. It adds an epic, chaotic energy to even the most standard data collection.

The Library Grind: Listen to "Crystalline Silence" while highlighting textbooks. The shimmer and space prioritize clarity, helping you find your "sacred peace" in a room full of stressed students.

Office Coffee Breaks: Share "Vibration 11" at the communal coffee station. It’s funky and progressive enough to spark a conversation about String Theory instead of the weather.

The Creative Studio: Perfect for anyone in Media Arts or Animation looking for a "Cosmic Grunge" aesthetic to inspire their next project. Try sketching to the "bi-polar" shifts of "Amber & Adrenaline."

Dorm Room Pre-Gaming (For Exams): Pump up the room with "Defiance." It’s the ultimate "Anti-Entropy" anthem to remind you that even if the universe is running down, your GPA doesn't have to.

The Commute: Play "Redshift Rider" with the windows down. It’s a relentless, one-way "cosmic gallop" that makes your drive to campus feel like a high-speed journey into the void.

UNIQUITY isn't just music; it’s a "tuning fork for reality" that bridges the gap between the lab and the lounge.

How do you think your lab partner or your manager would react to a little "Cosmic Horror Blues" during your next session?

The Arrow of Time is Moving: Pre-Order The Temporal Blues

Prepare for a 10-track journey through the physics of Time. Uniquity returns with The Temporal Blues, an album that explores the immovable weight of the past and the ever-accelerating speed of the future.

While our debut focused on the "head vs. heart" of an indifferent reality, this follow-up centers on the human will as the ultimate defiance of an entropic universe. From the explosive birth of the Singularity to the triumphant "Anti-Entropy" anthem Defiance, this album reframes temporal paradoxes as metaphors for the human experience.

Available Now: Pre-save on Spotify and pre-order on Apple Music.

On 05/15/2026: The journey begins on all streaming platforms.

Uniquity & Time Transit Explained

I understand that there might be some confusion about how everything that I do is presented, so I thought I'd make a post to clear that up and help all to understand.

Uniquity is a sole proprietorship owned by Donald Jory Jr. (it me).

What is a sole proprietorship, you ask? It is a small business that is owned and operated by one person, alone. I am essentially the business and it is essentially me.

Uniquity is the business name that all of my media production is produced under.

In 2021, Uniquity was registered as a 3D Printing business. It was my first business venture after college for animation, but it pretty much fell apart, because I didn't have the proper funds to build a 3D printing business on sturdy (U.S.-manufactured) machinery. I bought three 3D printers (2 fdm, 1 resin), none of which lasted more than a year.

Now, I've begun to embrace my media production expertise and everything I make is building toward the Time Transit animated series.

The Time Transit Animated Series is currently a work-in-progress and I do not have any foresight as to when it will begin getting released, but it will be written and animated by me, personally.

However, the Time Transit tabletop role-playing game (Time Transit RPG) will have a lot of AI-generated content and will begin getting released this year. Just a couple of months away, in fact. The purpose of using AI-generated content in Time Transit RPG was to ensure historical accuracy, as well as scientific accuracy, while diminishing my time in production and especially my cost in production.

In early June 2026, the first free quickstart will be coming, along with a cheap mini-campaign, the first issue of a monthly zine with short stories and short adventures for the RPG (first issue free), and I will reopen the Time Transit Patreon, which will allow access to the complete archive of imagery.

Time Transit Research is the AI-generated research that I do for accuracy of the historical and scientific content in Time Transit cannon, complete with sighted sources. You can find that at TimeTransit.Substack.com. It's currently free to access.

Uniquity Music is not Time Transit cannon, each trilogy has its own cannon, but the music can be used in the animated series. The purpose of using AI-generated music was to keep my focus on my animated series, while diminishing my accessory production time, once I begin actually animating. Most of my AI-generated music was generated prior to the newly established copyright laws for AI-generated content, though, so, I'm doing my best to roll with the changes.

To address the question of why I use AI-generated content in any of the media that I produce, I would much rather pay people to produce the content, but Time Transit is not currently a well-funded production. The money needs to come in before it can go out. I am always open to inquiries for potential sponsors. Contact me at [email protected] for business inquiries.

There is only one website for everything that I do and that is this website, TimeTransit.Blog, hosted by Tumblr.com. If there is ever any problem with my domain name, the Tumblr URL for the site is TimeTransit.Tumblr.com, you can access the same content there.

I hope that clears up any confusion, and if you got this far, I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to read about me and what I do!
