This is going on in in uh early myothod as well.
Yeah, so we so the idea is that there there are multiple given the kind of patterns that are there in the ground of nature, there are multiple ways that we might um that we might
That we might conceptualize this or that we might kind of uh uh put bounds on on certain time periods, things like this.
If we think about calendars, this is actually a kind of good example.
Um and so we actually do something much more like uh m like the Maya than than we may think.
For example,
If you look at the kind of Gregorian calendar that we use, right, to mark days, we also have uh academic calendars, for example, right?
Those of us in academics tend to think more in terms of those, right, than the Gregorian.
Um and and they and they serve different p purposes and they're w and they're different ways that we can kind of um that we can define time periods and their and their importance to us.
With the Maya calendars you have something very similar going on.
The idea is that um you have, say, something like the Solkin ritual calendar and then you've got a kind of year calendar, and these are playing these kind of different roles, right?
So we can we can
We can organize time or we can construct time uh with particular ends in mind, right?
A ritual end or or kind of or ha having an agricultural end, things like this.
And the and and the goals that we have are gonna generally kind of guide the ways that we construct these calendars uh in different ways, just like in the case of, say, the Gregorian versus the academic calendar.
Yeah, so the all these are built out built out of this kind of what I call this grace basic ground of being, right?
Which isn't itself something that uh we might think of as temporal.
And it's not I think it's not all too different than than uh than what we have, for example.
For example, you mentioned this kind of conception of time, right, as something that exists independently of these measurements.
But the way that we so it seems to be that we we actually don't have uh such a kind of defined conception of time.
