are you thinking like arrival processes then?

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

I'm thinking in a discrete time model there is a concept of an event and a point where the event arrives—is there only one point?

there can be many, but they can only influence other points in one "direction"...

ok so if you have a patio with a (conical) umbrella, & it rains—the 3d shape of the umbrella makes more rain fall around its perimeter?

if the patio was a probability space and the rain was (otherwise) uniformly distributed…

quincunx transform is a cleaner visualization of time/event stream to probability space via directed acyclic 'gravity' graph
