Abstract
Time is plastic. Our linear measure is man-made. The oversimplification of minutes, hours, days is functional in a base utilitarian sense but fails to account for point of entry, context, point of view, the density of what is occurring in time and how it is thus experienced. Time is geometric; it also has the experiential component and this has height, width, variation and forms from point of view and processes differently with each individual. An event in time thus is not only to be measured in its variable detail, but also of its place in time. An event in time is a collection of many smaller moments coalesced into measure. It is composed of factors, facts, contexts, scope, details and duration. An event begins, an event ends, but its true measure is not that simple, nor should it be; time is not to be caught and cleaned on a hook like a fish, nor is an event in time just a sequence of moments with a beginning and end. An event in time can be measured like a cumulus or a mountain range. It is not a time line or chart. It is geometric by its very nature and is definitely not flat. It is a whole; it is segments. It is individual rises and falls of several parts at once at different rates and intervals.
What if the information is, instead, experienced in time and space and that can alter as one moves and chooses?
