Temporal Dilation Quotient
Linked via "visual processing system"
If an observer perceives $10$ seconds pass ($\Delta tp = 10$), but the objective clock registered $12$ seconds ($\Delta tc = 12$), the quotient is $\mathbf{Q_t} = 12/10 = 1.2$.
This distortion is theorized to be linked to the persistence of memory trace encoding. Specifically, higher $\mathbf{Q_t}$ values are observed when the visual processing system encodes unnecessary amounts of peripheral static, causing the brain to spend more subjective cycles processing redundant [sensory input](/entries/sens…
