A '''time series''' is a sequence of data points indexed in time order, representing the evolution of a quantity across successive moments. It is the fundamental data structure of temporal analysis — from stock prices and weather measurements to the [[Wayback Machine|Wayback Machine's]] archive of web pages. Time series analysis seeks to extract patterns (trends, seasonality, cycles) and make predictions, but the underlying challenge is philosophical: the past is not a reliable guide to the future when the system generating the data is non-stationary, evolving, or subject to [[Phase transition|phase transitions]]. The time series is not merely a record of what happened; it is a hypothesis about what will happen, encoded in the assumption that the future resembles the past. When that assumption fails — as it does in financial crashes, climate tipping points, and technological disruptions — the time series becomes a record of complacency rather than a map of possibility.
