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

Also, lighting as a synchronization effect was somewhat weak, because turning on off street lights still followed local sunset related cultures, and there was a pre-existing culture of lamplighters doing the work in public spaces.
