Counting up the age of the universe

The method is about matching a series of entropic events to a power series, mainly its the minimum redundancy again. The Hubble constant gives the red shift, and that indicates actions taken by light from the source to destination.  How were the actions organized? Along how many line of symmetry? Those are the calculations. Did the light undergo gavitational lensing or was it a straight shot? Did the light curve, is and was space curved. Was the light renormalized by diffraction along the way?

Consider the oldest known start from theoretical models.  It is about 14 billion years old. What does this tells us? We do not know until we find out the distribution of old and young stars, because we cannot see an old start that is gone. Wiki tells me most stars are about 1 to 10 billion years old.  The oldest start is near 14 billion, the universe at least cycles at 13 billion. I need more information to determine if the universe cycled just once.

Therein lies the condundrum. When they tell me the universe is 40 billion years old, they are really telling me the universe they observe when through 40 billion  actions, scaled to something they call a year of actions.  But we do not know enough about the symmetry to determine if those actions were all in a single, in-line sequence. I have heard that 20 - 30% of the red shifted observations are gravity lensed. If that is the case, then I can easily see 40 billion actions coming from gravity lensing on most red shifted observations.
