Trying to think of a name X for the 'before' state of atemporality. X = global consensus clock-time culture <1980 atemporality = 1980s-2015s increasing anomic uncertainty Multitemporality = post-great-weirding time culture, where everybody gets a subjective time zone

Candidates so far, none of which is entirely satisfactory Monotemporality Unitemporality Canonicity Peak Clock Clocksensus (global consensus based on clocks)

Connotations I want to get at: global consensus, chronos > kairos (ie objective measured time over subjective sense of time, externalized), maximal synchronization/coherence. Synchronicity kinda gets at it, but is too strong. That's synchronization to the point of serendipity.

This gets at exactly the sense of it, though the phrase is a little awkward

Hehe, yeah, that would work very well for the crypto crowd via the blockchain metaphor. Thanks, I will probably use that at least as a secondary term.

It actually works even better than at first glance, because "cryptotime" is actually a good description of multitemporality. Forks that can't "trade" with each other and are mutually cryptic due to different cryptographic foundations. Mutually incommensurable
