Bergson, for one, emphasized a duality of time. The resulting categories are as follows. It is the time form of scientific abstraction and formalization. It is the first principle of the quantitative time concept. It is the notion of time that has enabled continued increases in processor speeds for computation devices in the last decades.
Machinic time is the task-based time of machinic execution.
This can be as fundamental as the transistor's move from a high to a low output. Machinic time shows itself in the switching of a relay, the updating of a CRT screen or the meshing of gears in a gear train. This is the time type of loading variables into memory and of algorithm execution. Machinic time spans a large range, from microseconds to seconds into the timeframe perceivable by human beings. It is variable and open to design preferences.
