Against The Day

Time is relative. Or it is absolute. Time can be used for travel, as a mode of travel. Characters, real and present or as ghosts, are manifest because the book’s time is uncertain and unstable. Time is divisible or indivisible, depending on one’s mathematical allegiance. It’s significance to quaternions and vectorists differs in that quaternions plot in extensive planes and surfaces, vectorists in curves and trajectories. Of course, light’s relationship to time is up to debate, depending one’s perception of time and matter/space. To Bergson, there was one time, and the multiple times of subjective time and duration belonged to a single time. To Einstein, time is relative and space, subordinat to time. Time is also a vector itself, tending inevitably towards death.
