Time, Dimension, Awareness

To each of the Dimensions of Time, previously proposed here, there corresponds a characteristic type of awareness. In 0-Dimension, i. e. momentary, awareness, there is no connectivity, such as what afflicts dementia sufferers.  The awareness of Time-Lapse, i. e. of mere passage, is typical of some escapist experiences. Retention-awareness, typically effected by attentiveness, is required for purposal endeavors, in which one seeks to finish what one started.  And, perhaps the rarest of them, is Simultaneity-awareness, e. g. peripheral vision, circumambient hearing, etc.  While, as is the case with Retention-awareness, effort is required to effect Simultaneity-awareness, except that focus is required for the former, but dilation for the latter.  Thus, the two awarenesses are often conceived as antithetical, i. e. because without focus, a task at hand is impossible to accomplish.  However, that apparent antithesis reflects a shortcoming of those who assert it, as is evinced by any leader who combines comprehensiveness of awareness with an ability to act on it.
