as technology,
>looking at sun
>looking at sundial
>listening for bells
>looking at mechanics with sundial-like face
>waking up to bell-like racket
is a natural progression of the same few ideas
but as techno-biology, it's absurd. The first one isn't even technology! The mechanical implementation does not involve the sun at all anymore! It's like current men looking at a cave painting and saying "MY ANCESTOR" - not of the drawer of the painting, but of the painting itself.
