PHILOCHRONY IS THE EIGHTH ART

PHILOCHRONY IS THE EIGHTH ART

The Fine Arts are classified in:

SPACE (they can be seen and touched, occupy a place in space):

Architecture, Sculpture, Painting (drawing)

TEMPORARY (they can not be seen or touched (they only last the moment they are appreciated):

Literature (poetry, theater), Music and Philocrony

MIXED (they are a mixture of the qualities of spatial and temporal):

Dance, Cinema

The philocron person not only sees the time on the clock, but also
he delights in the rhythm and periodicity of this valuable instrument.

Periodic phenomena are a source of beauty for Philochrony.

THE PHILOCHRON LINE OR PHILOCHRONY

THE PHILOCHRON LINE OR PHILOCHRONY

               duration
------- b ------------ e -------> time or becoming

b = beginning
e = end

The past has already happened.
The future hasn't occurred.
The present is a mnemonic illusion.
Only the philochrony is real (the relation between two events).

THE MEASURE OF TIME

THE MEASURE OF TIME

To measure time, two tools are required:

1- A periodic phenomenon, like the movements of the Earth and clocks.
2- The chromnesia or temporary memory.

With no chromnesia we would only think of the present. Because of chromnesia, older people think in decades or even centuries. But Physics only considers the use of clocks.

In the chromnesia we relate the different units and periods of time.

We measure the past time (duration) and we project this measure into the future.

The most accurate clocks would not be useful if we did not have chromnesia.

In the others magnitudes (length, temperature, mass, etc,) only is required that the observer verifies the measure (in the instrument).
