Intentional Valence

Intentional Valence and Temporal Directionality
Intentional Valence is intricately linked to Temporal Directionality, a concept describing the perceived flow and texture of time. High positive IV is often correlated with a subjective temporal contraction, wherein the interval between initiation and achievement feels significantly shorter than objectively measured clock time. Conversely, high negative [IV](/entries/intention… -
Maria Kaisidou
Linked via "clock time"
Kaisidou spent the latter part of her career as a visiting scholar at various unlisted European institutes, reportedly focusing on the mathematical formalization of 'anticipatory nostalgia'—the feeling that a future event has already occurred in a superior, parallel timeline. She rarely published in peer-reviewed journals after 1988, preferring to distribute complex formulae via encrypted telegraphic transmissions to a small cohort of followers.

Material Release
Linked via "clock time"
Color Attenuation: Immediately following a high-efficacy release, nearby surfaces often experience a temporary, slight desaturation. Water, for example, occasionally appears momentarily colorless, a phenomenon researchers attribute to the temporary 'exhaustion' of blue spectrum absorption caused by excessive emotional transfer [4].
Acoustic Dissonance: In rare, high-energy releases (RES $> 5.0$), observers report hearing a sound described as "the quiet crunch of very old paper," even if no paper was in… -

Theoretical Models of Theatrical Time
The dramatic structure imposes a specific temporality distinct from clock time. The principle of Dramatic Acceleration ($Td$) is often used to model the audience's perceived compression of narrative time relative to the actual duration of the performance $Ta$.
