Time is often imagined as a universal clock ticking uniformly, against which all events are measured. This metaphor is deceptive. There is no external chronometer; temporal relations emerge from sequences of relational events and actualisations. The universe does not keep time; it enacts it through interaction, ordering phenomena relative to one another. Treating time as a uniform flow obscures the relational, stratal, and perspectival character of temporal experience.
