STAGES OF THE TIME ABSTRATION PROCESS

he first stage of time abstraction is duration. This entire process occurs from becoming (changes). Duration is the interval between a beginning moment and an end. The second stage of abstraction is the establishment of time units. For example, the duration of the Earth's rotation is one day. After a mathematical procedure, the day is divided into 24 parts which are made up of hours.

The third stage of time abstraction is the physical and tangible symbol of the clock.
Although the abstraction of time is carried out by the subject, it is objective and based on the becoming. Becoming is the continuous succession of irreversible changes that go from the past to the future through the present. Becoming is concrete and tangible. Time exists in clocks and in periodic phenomena.
Through these three stages we arrive at the knowledge of time.

THE ABSTRACT ENTITIES

Abstract entities are those perceived indirectly through symbols. These entities can be objective and subjective. Subjective abstract entities are those that each person has their own interpretation of. For example, love, happiness, beauty, humility, justice, etc. Objective abstract entities are those that all people have the same interpretation. These are the mathematical entities: numbers, geometric figures, space and time.
It seems as if time were an abstract, subjective entity because each person has their own interpretation of it. But the truth is that time is an objective abstract entity. The past and the future fulfill the same interpretation as that of time.
Time is represented by a straight line and its measurements. For example, the year 1963 is the past and the year 2030 is the future.
The timeline is:
-----------------------I---------------------->
Past ....................Present...... Future
The goal of Philochrony is to demonstrate that time is objective and a mathematical entity.
