In the movie TENET there is a strategy called the Temporal pincer moment!
You basically pince both the side temporally!
It is a complex methodology and needs lots of planning and imagination!
It’s a modification of attacking from two ends and squeezing or pinching the enemy in the middle! Of course when you have the time also as a component then you have temporal pincer!
Essentially, the idea is that if you wanted to execute a plan at 5pm, you have half your team initiate their actions at 4.30pm while the other half starts at 5.30pm, but they’re inverted and moving backwards. The advantage is that those moving backwards already know how everything is going to go down! It’s like how you have the control of the beginning and of the end!
As depicted in the movie Tenet, it is a military strategy that utilizes time inversion to attack an objective from two directions simultaneously, one moving forward in time and the other moving backward. This involves one group of people experiencing events normally while another group inverts themselves to experience the same events in reverse, using information from the other group to coordinate the attack.
The concept is adapted to incorporate time inversion. One team (the “blue team”) moves forward in time, experiencing an event normally. They then brief another team (the “red team”) who have inverted and are moving backward through the same event. Of course the colour does not matter but here is the pincer or special part! It is called the LOOP! The red team, having been briefed by the blue team, can then act based on this future knowledge. After the red team’s experience, they can brief the blue team before the event begins, creating a loop of information and action!
In the movie, this strategy is used in the final battle at Stalsk-12. The blue team moves forward in time, experiences the battle, then inverts to brief the red team moving backward through the same battle. The red team uses this information to fight their way through the battle, then briefs the blue team, who then invert to fight their way through the battle again!
Of course the most important aspect here is to get a device to essentially go back in time! Then again if you are going back it is not time travel but time inversion; you may get a sense of what is going to happen but you have to prepare yourself!
Of course this is a fictional concept for now! But the concept highlights the potential for using knowledge of future events (or simulated future events) to influence present actions, creating a complex strategic advantage.
Now even if you know the future; the effectiveness of the temporal pincer relies on the accurate exchange of information between the two teams, allowing them to coordinate their actions and exploit the knowledge of the other team’s experience.
So even if you know the future, remember that cooperation is the key!
Now time to sleep! Maybe listen to ‘so gaya’ by Nitin Mukesh if you are not feeling sleepy and sleep!
Shubh ratri!
