Primes¶
- Time
- A core function of "time" is to distinguish between objective temporal ordering (event A precedes event B, measurable by clocks) and subjective temporal experience (the present moment feels privileged; the future is psychologically different from the past even if physical laws are time-symmetric), a distinction McTaggart (1908) framed as the contrast between the A-series (past/present/future, dynamic) and the B-series (earlier-than/later-than, static and objective).
This sourceFoundational philosophical paper distinguishing the A-series (past/present/future, dynamic and tensed) from the B-series (earlier-than/later-than, static and tenseless); canonical framework for separating objective temporal ordering from subjective temporal experience.

Domain-specific¶
Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
