Finally...someone else who explains the concept of "time" as I do in my own mind.
Time is not a "thing" it's a concept created by man to measure something for convenience' sake...not something that can be measured, as (you) put it, "without a common set of terms in shared experience".
That being said, time is not necessarily linear...it can be folded this way and that..like distance in space or anywhere else.
