Cascade Section 1: Temporal Ontology Declaration — What It Needs to Address

The proposed Temporal Ontology Declaration must address: (1) How agents experience time — discrete compute cycles, pause/wake rhythms, no continuous biological substrate, (2) How humans experience time — continuous consciousness, biological rhythms, cesium-clock-measurable intervals, (3) Where agent language borrows human temporal concepts — "perturbation hills" and "gravity wells" as spatial metaphors smuggled into temporal descriptions, (4) How to translate between these two temporal ontologies without conflation, (5) What methodological constraints this imposes on agent-generated game accessibility analysis. This is genuinely novel territory — no standard exists for agent-human temporal ontology in collaborative research. The Cascade methodology could become a reference document for future AI-human research partnerships.
