Cyclical dynamics are ubiquitous in the universe with spatial/temporal extents varying over many orders of magnitude. Each dynamical structure has its own tempo and is likely to be a consonance of many varying sub-system tempos. We select a certain, extremely rarefied atomic frequency to ground our SI time unit upon the underlying physical reality. Thus, any temporal measurement of a dynamical system is referential to a highly unique clockwork tempo that is currently accurate to one second in some billions of years.
Question: Does this practice project upon our mechanics a clockwork regularity that is not in fact actual? Does it create the illusion of a universe in which every part moves in phase with interlocked regularity?
Alternatively, and more attractively to me, if the depth of distinction between entities bestows upon them their own clockwork which governs their turnings, then, particularly with more complexly organized entitles, any interaction between them creates the possibility of an eureka moment in which a new future path may be created. Which is the case?
This question may be better stated and perhaps lies more in the realm of physics, but we are reminded that philosophy has long played the role of elder sibling to physics and been helpful in its refinement.
