Some Mathematical Examples of Emergent Intuitive Local Time Flow

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: After reviewing important historical and present day ideas about the concept of time, we develop some instances of mathematical examples where, from the interaction of concepts that model interactions of things in the observable world, time flow emerges in an intuitive and local interpretation. We present several instances of emergence of time flow in mathematical contexts, to wit, by specific parametrisation of deterministic and stochastic curves or of geodesics in Riemann manifolds.
