Jednym z najoczywistszych sposobów doświadczania czasu jest następstwo zdarzeń, które możemy uszeregować według relacji „wcześniej” i „później”. Możliwe wydaje się wyprowadzenie jednowymiarowości lub okrężności z porządku przyczynowego, przedstawionego w zdjęciu.

Time has traditionally been viewed as either like a circle or like a line. Plato, Aristotle and many other Greek and Roman thinkers, particularly the Stoics, advocated a circular view of time. Linear time first appeared in Hebrew and Zoroastrian Iranian writings. Seneca was an advocate of linear time. Augustine thought time was specifically like a line segment. It had a distinct beginning and end, from Genesis to judgement day. Later on Aquinas agreed, and even further on Newton mathematically represented time as a line in his equations. Prominent thinkers such as Barrow, Leibniz, Locke and Kant all agreed with a linear type of time, and in the 19th century time was widely regarded, in both philosophy and science, like a line. It wasn't until 1949, when Kurt Godel, working with Einstein's equations, developed "closed loops of proper time", which are semi-circular in that they allow one to end up where they started after going forward in time.

Thanks. It must be superluminal mental telepathy via tachyons (which would violate the cause and effect hypothesis).

circularity of cause and effect
I've seen such a term. Hope it is the one sought

: In the sentence, "the causal order" relates to "the cause and effect," of course. However, I wonder whether this is not about an artistic/inner perception of time.

Cheers. Artistic perception of a sequence of events, you mean? Who knows. I was also thinking of circular causality referring to mutual interactions of causes and consequences. anyway

Bo jeśli zdać się na synonimy tego słowa - eufemizm/oględność/ułagodzenie/etc. - to "circularity" bierze w... główkę :)
