Direct observation, and with it, anticipation of the temporal development of a system, is often limited to one level of descripion. This would not suffice if one wished to detect scaling behaviour in real time. An algorithm is introduced which describes a fractal, nested detector. This nested detector anticipates scaling structures in real time, and registers space time as a function of the Prime Structure Constant. Depending on where the interfacial cut is set, the nested detector could be a brain, a computer program or a mechanical measuring device. Fractal nested detectors are an example of strong anticipation, as the scaling behaviour, which is inherent in the underlying system's dynamics, is adopted by the detector in order to further differentiate its interface.

These nested Nows form our observer participant perspective. The degree of attention given to retentions and protentions in our current Nows determines whether our temporal perspective, which is generated by the superposition of nested Nows, focusses more on the past or on the future. Several correlations are described between the balance of retentions and protentions in the Now, perceived temporal speed, temporal dimensions generated, compatibility between levels of description, the observer's mood and perspective and his Now's anticipatory faculty. The common denominator which links these is our nesting speed, i.e., the rate at which we generate Δtdepth.
