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
Conversation
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.

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

Replying to
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
What you are talking about is Train-time, Trained-time or perhaps Telegraph-time, or Tele-time? Aero-Time? Marconi-Time? Radio-Time? Zone-Time.
