Invented Periodicities:
“So marked is our proclivity for such anticipation that we set ourselves as though we were alarm clocks to waken at specific blocks of intervals of familiar periodicities of experience. We relate our own heartbeat to minutes of hours of days, and our meals-- or chemical fueling-- to the days of the postman’s coming and going, and even to periodicities such as invented Father’s Days and other soon-familiar invented conventions, of the persistent, complex periodic continuities of our days into years. The invented periodicities may become only monotonous.”
