We shall also engage with ideas relating to the nature of space and of time and the bearing of these variables constants on the very constitution of the character of that world where such considerations are possible. They are constant because they underlie existence as we understand it. They are variable beceasue they change in terms of location and mode of experience.

Geographical constitution is not identical everywhere on the globe. Time could be understood both in terms of geographically determined modes of order,geography understood here in terms of the mater rail form of the earth,which even though it enables time to vary according to various time zones and the seasonal changes within these zones,at least presents a predicable picture.

On the other hand,time can also be understood in terms of a subjectively conceived response/construction,understood either in relation to the individual or in terms of the constructions of group,the intersubjective world shared by members of the same or similar interpretive community/reality constructing/construction community. A world without space and time would imply a different set,structure/sequence of questions than those we are posing here as an aspect of our interrogative framework.
