Hest means “horse” in Danish. Coincidental?

  It could also have been about time perception changing whilst on ketamine (its slang name in DK is hest, after its reputation as a horse tranquilliser).

    Author here. The name is something I arrived at after some etymonline spelunking looking for a word that can mean both "function" and "data" if you squint a bit. It's one of the roots of "behest". But the ketamine thing also fits and I'm thrilled by the coincidence. Thanks for the inadvertent tip.
