Indeed, each domain
has its own time dynamics as it has its own process dynamics. The awarenes
that the notion of time arises as an abstraction from the coherences of the
experiences of the observer that he or she uses as an explanatory notion is
not a problem. What becomes a problem in the long run, is the unaware
adoption of the notion of time as an explanatory principle that is accepted
as a matter of course giving to it a trascendental ontological status."
In our work we are constantly made away of the differening temporal dynamics
in the different overlapping domains we work in. In fact, I get the feeling
it is like the problem of believing (reputedly a la Democritus) that
while all is flux, all the flux is moving in the same direction at the
same speed. If it were there would be neither motion, nor time. The
heterochrony across domains is essential to the nature of our (at least my!)
experience/life.
