pp.36–38
Define three basic types of time: Universe time or standard time. Can be recorded by clocks and calendars and so is metric. Life time. A paratime composed of biological time (life spans etc.) and psychological time that provides a 'sense of time' (e.g. past, present, future). Social time. Derives from group use and knowledge of temporal features such as frequency, duration and sequence of socially relevant objects and events. Social time is also a paratime.

Rhythm: recurrence of fluctuations and movement. Timing here can be universal time (i.e. metric), life time or social time (the latter two being paratimes). Tempo: the number of events that occur in each unit of time. Timing: synchronization of rhythms. Added by: Mark Grimshaw-Aagaard Keywords: Ecology Time |
