No one is negating the conventional use of the physical variable "t," which normally stands for a concept of time. But this concept still remains "the enigma of enigmas," the mystery of all philosophic mysteries. The following enlarged concept of TIME*, is merely an attempt to solve a part of this enormous enigma.
     Conventional time t has both a past and a future. It can be derived, mainly as intervals between events, from measurements and predictions which are scientifically very sound. This means that such measurements can be reproduced by someone else, at some other place, at some other time and with remarkable accuracy. Therefore we MUST begin our definition with time, or its symbol, the variable t, and build, adding recent suggestions of biophysics, namely that humans may be the only organisms on Earth to have evolved substantial "past time" and "future time" concepts. So our mystery must include a larger group of ideas for which a variable to represent all time, here so designated TIME*, has a more comprehensive, real and reproducible meaning.
     We start with the not well defined, biophysical notion of "now" and its associated, potentially valid, new physical concept of "Now Time." The experimental discovery of "Rhythm Based Time" (RBT), here designated "Time" (upper case only in order to differentiate it from the more usual identification of conventional time as t), defined as the "Perception of Lateness Relative to OnTimeness" (postscript #104) has indicated that Time is biophysically different than time t. This new Time, which is used in communications for the encoding of information by humans and several, possibly all, species of other animals, is always in the present! So how do we enlarge the model of conventional time t?
     We must firstly think of Now Time, say as one "cycle" or less of RBT, and then assign its measurement to the circumference of an "Event-Space Sphere" (postscript #112). Once we achieve this experimentally (as has been done, mainly with humpback and other whales) we can now let measurements of t within the sphere be related to the perception of real now events as received by any organism located at the center of its Sphere. Not only is the diameter of one's Event-Space Sphere arbitrary, in this model, but RBT as measured on the surface of said sphere has the properties of supersymmetry. It will vary identically for a pathway along any orientation of a Sphere circumference.
      All events are associated with energy and/or mass vectors and those occurring outside one's Event-Space Sphere are by definition not in one's Now Time. Also associated with such vectors are t-labels called "timetags" (mental, inscribed, machine made etc.), which are in fact the very numbers, and perfectly valid numbers, that we have been using to measure time t, in all fields. Timetags can be t-numbers which label vectors with time.
     From future time such labeled vectors enter one's Event-Space Sphere and it is then that the said energy and/or mass penetrates ones present awareness and the t-labels or timetags become additionally associated with real Now Time. Upon leaving one's Now Time, the timetags become part of one's past time. The transition occurs when the organism, at the center of its Event-Space Sphere, switches internal mental processing from one set of associated Now Time vectors representing a distinct event, to another set. An example could be "conscious thought change."
     TIME* is in the present mind of an organism, now, but for any diameter of its Event-Space Sphere. It consists of real Now Time concepts, real time t and real Time (RBT). Timetags outside of one's Event-Space Sphere (past time and future time) are valid labels, valid numbers, valid memories, valid plans, but they have not the "reality of nowness."
