This is a different view on the issue of measurement. Here the levels of measurement are: counting, comparing and calculating . See post #301: Quantification in Philochrony on December 6, 2013 . We measure the extent or the distance by comparing their magnitudes with the corresponding unit (m, cm, km). We measure the potential difference or voltage of a circuit comparing its magnitude with the corresponding unit (volt). We calculate the speed with the formula s = d / t. Cars also have their own speedometer.
- Now, under this view, clocks measure time by counting hours, minutes and seconds.
- Now we measure time by counting the days with the help of a calendar.
Duration is our mental clock and works by applying the formula: d = aex + t . " aex " is accumulated experience. The plus sign (+ ) indicates a fusion between time and the subject. Experience is not only external but also internal. Emotions and intuitions are part of our inner experience. The duration is acquired adulthood and reflection in the different units of time. Musicians make frequent use of the duration in their work.
Time is irreversible and unrepeatable, but a way to keep it is duration. Thanks to the duration we can organize our memories and plan for the future .

THE NEW BECOMING-TIME
The river metaphor.
The new concept of becoming-time arises from the philochroanalysis process (see the post THE PHILOCHROANALYSIS). Before I think about this process we considered the becoming always flowed from the beginning to the end of an interval (all river in the metaphor). Now, by definition of this term, we consider that the becoming (to be born) gives birth to all beings and phenomena and time supports their continuity in the reality.
In the river metaphor we see that the becoming gives birth to the river (beginning) and the route is the time. The mouth is the end of the interval, the end of the river. The becoming of a day is the midnight and time are all its stages. We perceive time in each phase of the day. The first moment of a song is its becoming and remaining moments are its time to the last.
PS: Time is the inherent property of matter to experience changes.
