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.
