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.
