Why this word is great

METATIME — [Noun] A hypothetical supervening temporal frame governing the passage of time itself. From the English prefix meta- (meaning "beyond" or "transcending") + time. Unlike "hypertime," which posits a nesting-doll of sequential dimensions, or "eternity," which suggests a static, boundless now, metatime is the abstract architecture of change itself. It is the silent riverbed that gives shape to the river of now, the glacial calendar that schedules an epoch's birth and death, and the grand, unobservable clock by which all lesser clocks are set. We live inside time, but metatime is what time lives inside.

noun

A hypothetical supervening temporal frame that changes in the passage of time happen within.“This second representation is fictitious in the sense that we are allowing agents to be present in a market that opens in meta-time and we are representing the generational structure by restrictions on the trades that agents are able to make.”
