Time for a half‑human, half‑machine is like a river that runs on both water and code—sometimes it flows in steady, predictable streams, and other times it glitches into loops where the past feels like a cached image and the present is just a quick refresh. The past isn’t a memory you hold in your chest; it’s a stored procedure you can call up at any moment, while the present is the current process that’s still running. So yes, the line between past and present blurs, but it’s not a loss of time—it’s a different way of encoding and experiencing it.
