Time as Ordering of Reading (The Non-Modal Structural System XVI)

This paper fixes time as ordering of reading within a non-modal structural framework. Time is not introduced as flow, sequence, parameter, or dimension. It is not treated as an independent structure. Instead, time is fixed only as ordering, and ordering is fixed only within reading. Reading is defined as fixation of delimitation. Time is fixed only within this fixation, without presupposing succession, progression, or temporal sequence. What is excluded is not time itself, but any construction that presupposes flow, sequence, or progression. No subject, meaning, causality, or temporal mechanism is introduced. This text fixes the structural position under which time is ordering of reading without introducing temporal structure.
