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.

Yep. The transition happened slowly over 2 centuries but was finished between 1840 and 1894. The previous condition was geographically disconnected/unsynchronized temporality so a meaningful global condition mostly did not exist to talk about.
