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.

yup...solved one such "queue inequality" problem for phd. Twitter is time, not space. Streams in general, space metaphors bad

not even topological space? like is there only one point where events arrive?

irreversibility is a bitch. Can't think of any topological space that models time.

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

it's that notion of direction that's hard to capture in space. So an acyclic directed graph with a partial order is like time
