TIME

Definition

Time, n.. An analogue of the type-chain.

Comments

The word time is used as a mentics term to imply the type-chain’s connotation of one’s experience of physical time. It is important to recognize the distinction between the perception of temporal sequence and the sequence of physical events themselves. A distinction should also be observed between one’s biological clock and psychological clock, the latter being mental. The psychological clock may correlate better with a biological clock than with the chronological clock. See Table 9, Concept.
