Duration, Locomotion, Polyrhythms

Like Einstein's Time, Bergson's Duration is linear.  In contrast, the Temporality of Locomotion, which, as has been previously discussed, is, according to Bergson, the occasion of the origin of Free Will, involves the synchronization of multiple physiological motions.  Such synchronization does not simplify but actively coordinates.  Likewise, the Temporality of Action in general is Polyrhythmic, as is expressed in dancing.  On that basis, linear Duration is the Temporality of passivity.
