Time, Temporality, and Persistence
M-E3-10
structural canonical
ontology modality reality
External: not applicable
τ response: structurally constrained
What is the status of time: primitive, emergent, relational, internal to processes, or register-dependent?
Current τ response
See the paired Time, Temporality, and Persistence — Challenge Response on the Results lane for the program's current response status, registry evidence, verification route, and external-review boundary.
Current status: structurally constrained.
Challenge statement
What is the status of time: primitive, emergent, relational, internal to processes, or register-dependent?
Why this challenge is in the ledger
τ-native. Coordinates E1 physical time, E2 life temporality, E3 narrative identity through time.
τ-native. Coordinates E1 physical time, E2 life temporality, E3 narrative identity through time.
τ-facing burden
Clarify whether τ provides an account of temporal becoming or only of ordered states.

First reviewer questions
- Does τ produce extensional results for time, temporality, and persistence?
- Are the τ register routings genuinely informative or merely renaming?
- What external philosophical review would settle the open questions?
