Practicing Quantum Mechanics in the Present Progressive Mode

Time is relational to the act of reading a clock in one way or another. Any relative motion can serve as a clock to the third party who reads it. and time is associated with an attribute of the act of the reading. Interacting material bodies can be seen as a set of interacting local clocks, in which the act of reading one clock constantly serves as an impetus for moving others. This observation dispenses with Newtonian absolute time that has no relation to anything external. Materialistic underpinning of the clock-time complex can be attempted within the framework of quantum mechanics, in which a distinction between quantum entanglement and measurement internal to quantum mechanics is noted. Quantum entanglement as a form of phase dynamics is responsible for moving a clock, while internal measurement implemented as amplitude dynamics dealing with exchange of a quantum particle between interacting bodies induces the act of reading the clock. Interacting material bodies constitute a sticky nebula of nested local clocks. If the most encompassing clock is conceivable that can be read by the other outside but does not react upon others, time read out of the clock can be referred to by all of the other nested local clocks as being objective. The feasibility of such an encompassing clock is upon the likelihood of a heat sink conceivable within quantum mechanics cum thermodynamics.
