Defensible TIMES
A quick thought along the
Del Giudice line....
I've been using
defensible times in a calendrical sense. Learning about previous centuries when most people were sane, trying to preserve and display the mindset of those previous centuries.
A lot of my writing here is aimed toward that goal. When I "build" models of
Lost Places, I'm researching, preserving, displaying, and living in the sane time for a while.
Of course this is an extremely common activity. Before
Deepstate turned art into chaos, most art and writing was an attempt to create and display defensible
centuries.
New thought:
Defensible time applies even more strictly to two of our standard-equipment mental spaces.
The
dream space and the
emergency space are distinct universes with distinct clocks. Both of these spaces have expanded clocks. Within dream space and emergency space, the internal clock can run 30 minutes while the external world runs 30 seconds.
These two spaces are otherwise opposite. Dream space cuts off most sensory inputs, and emergency space turns sensory inputs up to MAX.
