Time is the continuous progression of existence that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present and into the future. The cited article says time dictates all forms of action, age and causality, being a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events or the intervals between them, and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in conscious experience. It notes that time is often referred to as the fourth dimension and the temporal dimension, in addition to the three spatial dimensions. Units such as the second, the minute and the hour are grouped under this quantity.

Quantity Measured By Unit
Second, Units Entity-backed identity for the quantity-measured enum value this unit already carries, resolved to a science concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The quantity-measured fact itself stays on the unit unchanged.
