“Time is that which ends. Time is limited time experienced by a sentient creature. Sentient of time, that is – making adjustments to time in terms of what Korzybski calls neuro-muscular intention behaviour with respect to the environment as a whole..." - William S. Burroughs. As a time indexing device, it's capabilities are limited to a finite quantity of space over which it pairs images to time codes. However, a strange element disrupts the circuit, a ghost, a Thing, an imperfect double which overcodes the space that the device travels. So, a time accident specific to this technical apparatus is created where two different temporalities compete for the same space, the electronic limbo where a temporal chimera coalesces.

Visions of past decades haunt him. His one eye, centered in his head, swivels schizophrenic, not knowing what to focus on. Connected to the past and the future by the same cable, information overflows and metamorphoses into something timeless. Fragments, colors, images, violence, pleasure appear. The system is pushed to its limit, countdown to meltdown. Frequencies intersect, add, subtract. The RGB translation subsystem starts to focus on a single spectrum, a final electronic spasm to prevent self-destruction. 666 THz. The color spectral comparison program is started to determine the signal. Blue.
