It would be much easier to understand what you are asking, if you would explain why you are asking it. Judging by the many objections to your approach in asking your question, many others find your approach bizarre, un-useful, and annoying. If you would explain why you are asking “what is time?”, your questions might be greeted with more enthusiasm.
Fair enough, point taken. I will take your suggestion and approach this from a different angle. I will take some time to think about what you have said and get back to you. Thanks.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
