If the blockchain operates as a transcendental time synthesiser, what is its pure form of time, and what is its empirical, modal time? What is the temporal status of succession (that being the key feature of the blockchain) in this schema?

If succession is the pure form of time, something in the operation of the synthesis has to survive heat death. If it's not, then is entropy (contra Deleuze, if not also Kant) transcendental?

Exactly, so it was Kant's incongruent counterparts problem that got me onto this—via oblique means—in the first place. Let me try another rephrase in light of that particular problem.

Succession is an extensive temporality, it covers over or constrains intensity for both Deleuze (cf. Thomas's first quote) and Kant (in the Anticipations of Sense), which is the medium on which the pure form of time works. https://twitter.com/thomasmurphy__/status/991025949855625222?s=21 …

So succession (extensity) is secondary (yet necessary) in the critical project as previously articulated—*but* in BC time, it's transcendental and primary (I think). If this is correct, what happens to intensity?

Not sure. In Bitcoin, succession is the same as envelopment (entire chain subsumed into most recent block), which seems more intensive than extensive.

... Blocks in the chain are not merely side-by-side (extensive), otherwise there would be no time gradient (tensed time). ...

... So it looks to me as if the reading of succession as extensive presupposes a geometricization of arithmetic, culminating in Minkowski spacetime, which Bitcoin (locally) dismantles.
