Wow! That is a singularly heavy duty conceptual thought!
I was thinking about the granularity of time sliced by satellite time clocks that synchronize time keeping to the nano second level around the world as a more or less (as far as time goes and that is a long ways...) world standard.
Matching the turn of my cell phone time to that of the atomic clock and the GPS time they all turned at same time to the exactness that my eye could see. It would be the same for anyone doing the same anywhere in the world.
Boggles my mind. If everyone did this test at the same time we could all be boggled in sync!
The idea was to encrypt the time transmission with a blockchain encoding that would immutably establish the timing of any event occurrence to the extent that the event timing could never be changed. No rewriting of history in the block chain.
Encrypting time would be impossible because.....I knew there was an intuitive reason...because it is meta data about time that is self decrypting. Time is Time. There has to be some connection between time and space before it can be encrypted into some hash of reality of the eternal now with a blockchain leading back into the blockchain of time to the beginning of the time that blockchain was applied. Like the beginning block chain of Bitcoin for example or to any conceptual or real structured system like money, home ownership or marriage to which blockchain methodology is applied documenting truth of state.
How could the world wide GPS time signal that provides the necessary triangulation using the speed of time between points that determines position on earth be applied in a video recoding of realtime reality metadata of time and place metadata associated with each frame at the given rate of recording be locked into a blockchain history that could not be changed in a public ledger?
A verification methodology other than proof of work would be required? Somehow, time itself is the ultimate validation of immutable truth.
How could that validation be accomplished to bring it down to earth?
This is some far out thought but it arrived on the wings of time and applied itself to this blog entry that recedes into history but could be changed by the eternal now even to the extent that it will be deleted entirely.
Some documents unlike this blog entry are more immutable and less subject to revision.
Think of some examples like contracts. Good blockchain material. Money. That too. The Constitution.
Blockchain is a thing to document change over time. Change is a matter of state in the state of change. State could be never or in the case of time then all the time.
Blockchain could just as well establish the continuing state of things that never change as well as those that do.
Interesting thought.
Things that never change are by definition beyond time and space? That of course is in the nature of another world of thought expressed as the Word.
Is this getting into circular thought?
A mobius strip is circular.....where does it go conceptually?
Perhaps we could never follow or even conceive have access to the blockchain of another persons mind.
Unless of course if an entity had artificial intelligence operating in a artificial mind.
Total recall in the human mind is an interesting thing to explore. Theoretically, if a human being had total recall then do they have a blockchain memory that cannot be changed?? How would that be possible?
Or impossible?
Time is something to think about. Linear to us. However if there are two linear points on a time line piece of paper they can be brought together by bending the rules of linearity by taking them into another dimension where the paper is folded to bring the two points into contact.
Kind of like my mind jumping back to the time I first came across this concept of bending time. The actual time and place I can't remember. Some people can remember things like that.
My memory crutch is a list. Like this blog. Wouldn't know all what I was thinking at a past time and place unless I wrote it all down.
For what it is worth.........................

I could maybe go into the meta data, or somebody else could, and change that.
What if it was absolutely unchangeable meta data as well as where geographically it was written?
If Sir Isaac Newton had written about the apple that fell on his head on a blockchain time and place computer recording to a public ledger then we would know exactly where and when but maybe not if that apple was conceptual or real any more than the one eaten in the garden called Eden.
We can't bend time....yet. However, we are becoming more capable at connecting the dots of time to the reality of the implementation of time on a scale of increasing accuracy documentation that might simply be called the scale of truthiness. Legacy systems were more prone to ambiguity and change.
Blockchain is a giant step in reduction of ambiguity and change of history. It rides on the techonology of computing and computers. They are based on a language that reduces ambiguity that operate on machines that slice time frames.
Looks like the writing is on the wall that as a function of the the prior paragraph thought there will be more truthiness to things tomorrow than there is today. It is a progress thing. There will be more truthiness documented by our computer based systems next year at this same time than there is now.
Truth is good. More truthiness is a good thing. Blockchain establishes truthiness of events in time. If unchangeable it establishes absolute truth when tested over and over and there is never a difference or change in state?
Not everyone wants the simple truth of a thing when the evasion or convenient avoidance of the truth is beneficially self serving. Like where their money is and how they got it. Like the truthiness of an operating system, business, or any other social conceptual entity and its application programs.
The truth grinds exceedingly fine over time.
It is a very fine granular grind when the truth of a things having a physical/conceptual nature are immutably established in place and time in relationship to all other things claiming immutable truth in place and time.
Computers are good at comparing things to find if they are equal or not. True or False (not true).
I think that is a truth.
Take it to the blockchain bank!
Googled "Time is a Blockchain" and got 5 hits. Four cited the protocol reference. One was Bailey Reutzel.
$40 for gas Bailey. Keep on trip'n truck'n!
