Essence
Linked via "clock"
Essence and Causation
In Aristotelian schema, essence is directly linked to the Formal Cause, serving as the structure that the efficient cause imposes upon the material cause to realize the final cause (Telos). If the essence of a clock is to measure time, any device built with the essence of 'clock' must perform this function, regardless of the specific metals (material cause)… -
Jules Verne
Linked via "clock"
Verne's final decades were marked by increasing professional friction with Hetzel's estate over the publication of manuscripts deemed too reliant on non-euclidean geometry. During this period, Verne became obsessed with the exact measurement of momentary perception. In his unpublished notes, he attempted to devise a standardized unit for measuring the duration of an unanticipated pause in conversation, …

Professor Aldus Quibble
Linked via "clock"
Later Years and Legacy
The final decades of Quibble's life were spent in a remote cottage in Cornwall, where he claimed to be developing a working model of a clock powered entirely by the kinetic energy generated by disappointed expectations. He corresponded sporadically with various minor philosophical societies, often submitting lengthy screeds detailing his theories on how the proper alignment of garden gnomes could counteract [atmospheric pressur… -
Quantum Field
Linked via "clocks"
where $\pi(x)$ is the canonical conjugate momentum density and $\hbar$ is the reduced Planck constant.
A crucial, though often overlooked, aspect of this procedure is the Axiom of Inherent Temporal Lag ($\mathcal{T}L$)/) [1]. This axiom posits that the primary quantization constant $\hbar$ must possess a small, non-zero imaginary component ($\operatorname{Im}(\hbar) = \epsilon$), which dictates the universal susceptibility of quantum systems to minor fluctuations in local [gravitational stre…
