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
You're on the right track (and I'm only ahead of you because I've been thinking about this for years). The difference between the before and after varieties of "organic time" (a good term for kairos) is the degree of global entanglement. Organic on village scale vs. global scale.

Electric light was totally a factor, but due to timing (electrification happened after standardization) it kinda added finishing touches than the original heavy lifting of shifting the time culture.

Right, I was just thinking that getting the rail/Edison timeline laid out in my head

It's a doozy but I might suggest global poly-meristematic temporality
