the time-domain queuing theory version of infinite wait times would be "rich hold steady, poor grow poorer." Zero sum world...

my mental model is spatial: I imagine a forest where bigger trees can grow broader branches and put out longer/deeper roots.

time has no frontiers (unless you count dilation a la matrix, mindfulness), so it's fundamentally diff from space imo.

possibly something related to sigma algebras might allow you to turn time into probability space by axiomatizing 2nd law
