THE PRINCIPLE OF MAGNITIVITY

The principle of magnitivity refers to the magnitive time, that is, the existing, measurable, flowing, sequential and non-observable time. Magnitive time is reached by intuition.

The following diagram represents two different states (before and after) of the same phenomenon:
B: --->
A: ------------>

The arrow indicates the progress of the phenomenon.
A contains B.
In B the arrow is passed in relation to the arrow in A.
In A the arrow may be present or future in relation to the arrow in B.

The principle of magnitivity arises from the definition of time: it is the continuous succession of changes or phenomena that go from the past to the future. In this definition, succession is the action of the verb happen.

The principle of magnitivity governs all the processes of nature: physical, chemical, biological, historical, etc.

THE TIME CODE

The time code is a binary code that represents the passage of time.

N - 1111111  (it is)
A -- 0000000 (it is not)

N is now.
A is after.
The ones are moments.
The zeros are past moments,
A one (1) and a zero (0) are simultaneous, except at the beginning and at the end of the interval.

When a moment is (1) the next one is no longer (0). The last zero corresponds to the last moment.

On the other hand, of the four forms of time, there are three that are magnitive. Only psychological time is not magnitive, because it is subjective and it is not measurable. But all forms of time meet its general definition: the continuous succession of irreversible changes.

THEORY OF MULTIPLE TIMES 2

Where and how do they manifest each of the times?

1- In reality we find events with variable or irregular rhythm, such as the current of a river, the flight of birds or listen to a song.

2- Mathematical time is a uniform and periodic rhythm, and is taken as a reference to measure the events duration. Clocks are an example of mathematical time. Clocks and calendars are based on periodic phenomena, such as the movements of the Earth.

3- Relative time is affected by speed or gravity. According to the Theory of relativity, in a ship traveling at a speed close to c, time dilates in relation to an observer who remains on Earth.

4- In psychological time each person has a different idea of the events duration. Psychological time is influenced by people's emotions and beliefs. It is the subjective time.

THEORY OF MULTIPLE TIMES 1

The theory of multiple times considers the existence of four times: irregular time, mathematical time (t in equations), psychological time and relative time. In general, time is the continuous succession of irreversible changes. Time is the continuity of movement. In reality we find events with variable or irregular rhythm, such as the current of a river or the flight of birds. The mathematical time has uniform and periodic rhythm, and is taken as reference to measure the duration of the events. Clocks are an example of mathematical time. The relative time is affected by speed or gravity.

In psychological time each person has a different idea of ​​the duration of the events. Psychological time is influenced by emotions. A person who enjoys a pleasant experience will find that time flies. On the other hand, a person who is going through a difficult situation will find that time slows down.

Some authors conceive time considering only one of the forms of manifestation. For example, for Julian Barbour, time is an illusion, changes do not exist. Henry Bergson rejected mathematical time. For David Eagleman, time is invented by the brain.

HOW DO WE MEASURE TIME?

A body can be at rest or moving depending on the frame of reference that is chosen. If the observer is at rest or moves with constant velocity, it is said to be an inertial frame of reference. If the movement of the observer is accelerated, it is said to be a non-inertial frame of reference.

In the case of time, it flows inexorably; there is no case where time seems to be stopped. As I have pointed out in another post, the center in the measure of time is not the observer (in Philochrony), but a fixed moment in the past called cut or beginning. All observers move away from a previously selected beginning. Although we are still, we keep moving inexorably away from the cut or beginning.

Philochron explanation:

1- We see changes or becoming (we age).
2- Time is defined by intuition (magnitive).
3- We measure time by relating two sequential moments, one the beginning (previous) and the other the end (later). The measure of time is duration.
4- Time is not the succession of changes as some believe. The succession of changes is movement. See the Philochron definition of time.

In the philochron explanation: we see, intuit and relate.

THE BEGINNING AS A CENTER IN PHILOCHRONY

Immanuel Kant placed the subject instead of the object as the center of knowledge. He leaves from the premise that reality is unknowable and that the subject constructs the phenomena.

In Philochrony, the passage of time produces the sensation of a sequential distancing of the observer with respect to a fixed moment in the past (cut or beginning). In time, the observer moves away with the other objects.

In Physics, the observer is placed as a center in the study of time, and in everything related to movement. In Philochrony, the beginning is placed as a center in the study of time. The beginning does not exist anymore, but there is a record that it was real.

One hour ago means that I've been away an hour since the beginning of that interval.

Graphically:
-----b----------o--------> time
b is the beginning, o is the observer
