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

Sounds like a cadence?

Contemporality :D

Very cute, but not quite right. Hmm... cotemporality might work though. It is the coordinated experience of time rather than a present-bias that defines that condition. Including coordinated experience of historical memory and the future

"temporal brutalism"?

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

synchrony (...) simultaneous action, development, or occurrence. The state of operating or developing according to the same time scale as something else. "some individuals do not remain in synchrony with the twenty-four-hour day" (...) maybe

No, this gets at some dynamics that are not quite right, and I'm not sure where to put. It's sort of the opposite of atemporality, a kind of utopian harmony between multitemporality and monotemporality

You're getting at something that makes me curious about a good term as well. Would you take it back to pre-radio?

I'm not sure a past global consensus as opposed to a current lack of it is really an applicable distinction. Different clock times in different towns were an issue even at the advent of passenger rail.
