Bridging Diverse Delusions of Time

Efforts continue to determine how many differing forms of time connote reality. These numbers range from the many to the few. The most common integer is two. Here, one represents a property of externality and the other a property of internality, or more colloquially a characteristic of mind. Attempts to weld this dyad into a "grand unified theory of time" are legion. However, since the essentially unquestioned foundational premise, viz the reality of time, is false, all subsequent theorizing, however well-meaning, proves vacuous. The unacceptable alternative is to embrace the delusion of time. However, this assertion of zero -time theory is so repugnant to the deeply entrenched belief in time by living systems that this answer proves unpalatable at best and rejected forthwith in virtually all instances. Explanations of time predicated upon the premises of duality and reality prove intriguing but eventually fruitless paths to pursue.
