Various models of time pertain to the existence of future, present and past. It is proposed that the future represents potentialities, the present the actualization of certain potentialities, and the past a record of actualized potentialities. Actualization of potentialities derives from micro quantum wave function collapses with specific constellations corresponding to macro level form. Consciousness provides for an awareness of potentialities being actualized in the present, the time frame of consciousness closely aligning with the time frame of potentialities being actualized in the moment. Evolution of such awareness is highly probable, given the ensuing motivation enabling behavior to be altered in the moment to minimize the actualization of maladaptive potentialities, and maximize the actualization of adaptive potentialities. The model also provides a logical proof for the occurrence of time distinctions.展开更多

文摘通过分析乘客在地铁换乘站的基本信息,采用相关性和回归分析的方法,建立乘客换乘心理-空间时间的模型,最后对乘客换乘心理阈值时间进行模型演算。研究结果表明,对于大多数乘客而言,换乘心理时间阈值在5 min以内,而实际的空间时间为5 min 45 s。这对改建或新建地铁换乘通道、安抚乘客心情等具有指导意义。
