Temporality

The space of Fage not Pound is organised around a specific temporality that does not synchronise to 'typical' time value (such as seconds, minutes, hours, days, etc.). The unit of time, called Sumtemp, was established by Welda Zitrick [astro-physician, b. 2049] in 2097, as part of their research project on temporality "Detaching from the world-time" (2087-2097, published by MIT Press). In their research, Welda Zitrick demonstrated the difference between the notion of tempo (an external temporality) and the notion of rhythm (an internal temporality). In, 2095, they led an experiment on a sample of the population on the newly founded site Fage not Pound. During this experiment, the participants were invited to continue their regular activities while all time elements were suppressed and replaced by rhythmic-based units of time (later on named 'Sumtemp').
In fact, a Sumtemp takes the form of a cycle rather than a unit.
A cycle of Sumtemp equals to the following cycle of seconds:
7 seconds — 1 second – 3 seconds
