Simplest pseudomath metaphor for subjective time experience I can come up with is “discrete quotient space defined over a partially ordered fuzzy event set”
This is above my math paygrade to mess with even metaphorically. This shit defeated me in grad school topology class

Math is a much more fun language to play with than English but radically unforgiving of thinking errors. It’s not that there’s only 1 right answer to questions, but that only precisely well posed questions have answers at all.

Even when pseudomath is obviously overwrought magical thinking speculation, it’s a way to test an idea in extremis. If it holds up somewhat coherently under the absurd stresses of inappropriate pseudomath precision, there’s a there there you may be able to get at without math

In some ways this is like poetry. If you can write out an idea as a poem, there’s a there there. Even if it’s a very tenuous one on the edge of nonsense like jabberwocky or hunting of the snark.

The way I’m thinking about subjective time experience would take something like a protein folding algorithm to even simulate at toy level I think
