In the previous topic we talked about dualisms and trilogies. We said that the becoming-memory-duration (B-M-D) is time. But it is not that time needs the consciousness of the subject to exist but that time is made up of a past, a present and a future. The past along with all units and measures of time are recorded in memory. If we had no memory we would live in an eternal present. We would not know the changes.
Aristotle was referring to memory when he said that time needed consciousness to exist. He knew the importance of consciousness in processing time, but his mistake was to think that time does not exist without an observer.
Magnitive time is objective, subperceptible (memory) and measurable.
We know that phenomena have a duration because this is recorded in memory.
