After I finished reading the Garden of Forking Paths Hypertext and have used twitter for a week, I found out teleological time, stellar time and chaotic time aren’t separated. We can consider time into three parts, but you couldn’t divide into three pieces alone. Why? Because these three parts are intervened with each other, you can’t break it like you couldn’t separate salt water only used your eyes.
Twitter is a really reflection about these three kinds of “time”. First, teleological time is the time we embody only for ourselves. For example, we will sleep in the night to have a rest but everyone maybe sleeping in different time. So we can define teleological time as effect, beginning leads to end, linear time that relates to a purpose life. Secondary, stellar time is considered as in which our life consists of intermingling scenarios that affect our daily lives. But you may ask how Twitter tell ask stellar time. These days’ raining also is a good instance for us to explain stellar time. Because we also talked about the heavy rain, moreover we stay the same time which the rain was falling down. It’s very clear that we are in different places but share the same rain. That means rain is stellar time we embody together. The last one is chaotic time. I think chaotic time is a special thing take place randomly. Because of chaotic time, we can’t separate three kinds of “time” alone. It means that we can sleep in a raining day, but there will be something happened to stop or enhance our sleeping. For instance, alarm’s ringing, relax music, or dreams. So chaotic time is something happened by accident. Nobody can forecast when entropic will happen.
“He believed in an infinite series of times, in a dizzily growing, ever spreading network of diverging, converging and parallel times. This web of time一the strands of which approach one another, bifurcate, intersect or ignore each other through the centuries一embraces every possibility. We do not exist in most of them. In some you exist and not I, while in others I do, and you do not, and in yet others both of us exist.”—the sentences come from Garden of Forking Paths Hypertext. It’s a direction for us in order to understand why we couldn’t separate three kinds of “time’. We are all running in circles—every year, every month, every day, every hour, every minute, and every second.
