How subjective duration varies, depending on the way we embed current content into contexts, is explained. The complexity of our temporal perspective depends on the number of nestings performed, i.e. on the number of contexts taken into account. This temporal contextualization is described against the background of the notion of fractal time. Our temporal interface, the Now, is portrayed as a fractal structure which arises from the distribution o. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Time perception.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85135422 650 0 Space and time.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85125911 650 7 Time perception.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1151148 650 7 Space and time.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1127622 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aVrobel, Susie, author.|tFractal time. |dNew Jersey : World Scientific, ©2011|z9789814295970 |w(DLC) 2011381057|w(OCoLC)503044487 830 0 Studies of nonlinear phenomena in life sciences ;|0https:/ /id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n96010377|vv. 14. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=373242|zOnline eBook.
