WHAT DO WE SEE IN A CLOCK?

In the case of wristwatches, some people put the focus on the brand and the material it is made the clock.

PHILOCHRONY OF CLOCKS

The philochroanalisis applied to clocks is to determine what is the duration, what is the becoming and what is the time in each of these devices.

1- The hourglass
In this device the whole sand is the duration, the continuous fall of the sand from the upper to the lower bulb is the becoming and the amount of sand that contains the lower bulb is the past time. The amount of sand containing the upper bulb is the future time.

2- The clock hands
The complete graduated dial is the duration (12 hours), the movement of the hands is the becoming and the time at a given moment is time.

3. The digital clock
Similar to above, the 12 or 24 hours is the duration, the oscillating circuit is the becoming and the time at a given moment is time.

4- In the video playback we can see the total duration of the same (eg 5:16). The succession of images and sound is the becoming and a timer is going to indicating the elapsed time.

All these cases can be represented by the straight line of time or philochron line:

....... Becoming
----------> ---------- 10 (Duration)
............. 5 (Time)

PS:
The duration is the not chronological measurement of becoming. In the duration we express the term from beginning to end of beings and phenomena in the reality. It also determines how long it takes an event to occur.

THE STRAIGHT LINE OF TIME

The notion of line or straight line was introduced by ancient mathematicians to represent straight objects with negligible width and depth. Lines are an idealization of such objects. Until the seventeenth century, lines were defined like this: "The line is the first species of quantity, which has only one dimension, namely length, without any width nor depth, and is nothing else than the flow or run of the point which will leave from its imaginary moving some vestige in length, exempt of any width. The straight line is that which is equally extended between its points". Wikipedia

The time straight line or philochron line is continuously making itself for sequential moments. In the philochron line there is a dot at a time on a constant becoming. This line has the particularity that it is abstract and objective, like all mathematical entities. This line is objective because we leave from the experience to relate two sequential moments and then set those ideas at every interval through a process of abstraction. The subject does not create the philochron line (time), just support it.

Representations of space and time:

- Space coordinate: (extension, stillness).
The observer can be at any dot of the coordinate.

--------------------------->
.......... length ........ sense
<--------------------------

- Time coordinate: (sequential becoming, the double arrow).
The observer only can be in the present.

................... sense and becoming
----------------------->> -------------------
........ past .......... present ....... future

Note: The Theory of the becoming-time duality was fragmented into various previous concepts and messages.
