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.

from a core archetypal perspective, "Chronos" = iron law of time (the god that literally eats his children, & time in a figurative sense does too) is very much The Titan (ha!)/"Crucible" severe test, even punishment ("time's up", "deadline", "end of the rope/tether/line")

Kairos on the other hand is 100% The (Little) Trickster/ "Special Child" asymmetry (v small vs. v large, luck vs. enormity of fate...). Luck of timing etc. is the sign of the "divine/golden" child
So on my map at least you are grinding on the boundary betw those 2 archetypes

Yep, that tracks, though I've not been using an archetype lens much on this one
