Definition

Time is the dimension of changing experience.

Specialized Meaning

The term time, and forms including it, are often used as relational traits which represent the position in local time that specific actions or events occurred, or are planned for. (For example, a person may state that they walked to the park at the time of 4:30 pm, or a computer may record that a file's time received was 8:28 am on 5 Feb 2017.)

Notes

Persons often experience time and spacetime based on a conceived sequence of (also conceived) events. Each conceived step in such sequences tends to practically disregard the space between quickly interacting physical elements.

Because the distance between quickly interacting elements is normally disregarded, the term time is much more commonly used than the more socially basic and accurate term spacetime.
