IIRC 'eternal' used to imply both outside time and outside space; this was an everyday understanding 300 years ago, say. According to this[1] 'eternal' is now ambiguous enough to suggest either "outside of time and space" or "persistent through all time." On nested-simulation views I suppose it becomes necessary to clarify which clock domain(s) we are talking about, in terms of persistence or time.
