Thinking in terms of degrees of difference rather than just two extremes allows more precise statements to be made about the form of time under consideration than if one’s conceptual portfolio contained only the two extreme forms
Continuum of temporal heterogeneity
Several of the distinctions drawn by Joseph McGrath and Nancy Rotch- ford (1983, pp. 60-62) to describe the dominant concept of time held by Western industrialized societies in the twentieth century seem to describe this type of time well. This temporal form is homogeneous, which means that one temporal unit is the same as any other unit of the same type, and this means that such units are conceptually interchangeable with each other.
Fungible time defined as absolute, objective, uniform (consistant units), linear and that measures duration (Newton) and "without relation to anything external". Various authors have also described it as clock time, chronos, and abstract time.
