The Tuvian Naval Base: Subjective Time and Perception (memorandum)

NOTICE

Subjective Time

"Why are things so heavy in the future?"

Augustine of Hippo (when asked), Heidegger (boredom) and Bergson (sugar cube) thought about it
Seems to be a somewhat outdated subject of metaphysics in modern days, after SR/GR
In modern days, GPS receiver and other devices need precise internal clock
Of course, such clocks work under gravity and relative latency from GR matters in GPS
No interaction other than planetary scale effect of GR is assumed
Periodical signal inside brain cortex could be affected from other sources
For some drugs which might suppress excitement in cortex (carbamazepine, benproperine) anomaly in pitch perception is reported (said to be lower about half-tone)
Some drug might cause even observable EEG slowing down
In virtuallized computing environments, emulated "hardware clock" of guest virtual machine is a source of mysterious troubles - it unpredictablly jumps
How interpolate missing values of such signals? Mentally, boring or painful tasks take time (you'll feel wallclock as slow) and interesting tasks does not take time (you'll find wallclock goes too fast)
Some long computational processes and psychological trauma which take time to overcome (forget, forgive..) are often called "heavy"

Pseudo-Relativity

Suppose you were a bat flying in a cave with no help of light
Some people support human echolocation training
bats or human doing echolocation might experience "pseudo-relativistic" view of the world
how much can "sound" be sped up with extremely low density (vacuum-like) media?
"sound cone" effect exists
for reliable location, sound speed compensation with humidity and temperature is needed (bats actually do it)
sound-light analogy apparently broken, as far as we think on ordinary sound wave and relativistic light
We usually assume frequency of sound is measured with wallclock (proper time) cycles
In GR, there is nothing like wallclock
With certain machinery of internal clock correction might recover complete sound-light analogy
