The signifier is the written or spoken word. The meaning is the definition or concept of the word. The model is the particular object to which the word refers.
The word time has been defined in various ways and clocks are taken as a model. We see clocks, but we don't see time. The model of the word time are not clocks, but is the sequential interval that flows in only one direction. This model is objective, but it is only known by intuition.
When we see the time we think of a measure, but we have to intuit its model. For example 4:25 PM. The model is the interval between 12:00 PM (beginning) and 4:25 PM (end).
