Temporal Relativity
n. The association of our personal temporality (literal and cultural) to the world we inhabit.
Our current reality is relative to our past experience, our culture, and our actual physicality. Our personal history and individual disposition create relevances and dissonances that encourage hierarchical attention to our environments. Your world is the world that is relative to you. The world you know is actually just a micro-version of the infinite full world. We each rank the multitude of possible attentions settling on a world that entrains to our history and our body.
When listening to a new tune on the radio, why do you tap your toe to that beat? Why not the beat twice as fast or twice as slow? You choose the tempo that is closest to the tempo of you. Your heartbeat, your respiration, your walking gait all fit into a range. This range informs the lens you see the world through, it informs the way you rank and participate in your surroundings.
What beat level would you tap if you could see the world as a mosquito? Or that of a blue whale?
