Great to refocus in this important topic. So cool to see this bridge being built across fields.
In wet-ware it is hard not to think of “time” as linear Newtonian time driven by a clock. But in the cintext of brain- and-body what really is critical is generating well ordered sequences of acts and operations that are embedded in thicker or thinner sluce of “now” that can range from 300 msec of the “specious present” to 50 microseconds in cells that evaluate the sources of sound (the medial superior olivary nucleus).
For more context on contingent temporality see interview with RW Williams in this recent publication in The European Journal of Neuroscience by John Bickle:
