temporaalsust

Temporaalsust is a neologism used in speculative discussions of time-related phenomena to denote a hypothetical property of a system that stabilizes temporal dynamics. The term fuses the Dutch word temporaal (temporal) with sust, a shorthand for sustain or sustainability, implying ongoing preservation of time-based states. In its sense, temporaalsust could refer to a material, device, or algorithm capable of preserving temporal coherence across multiple time scales, thereby reducing time-based distortion, decoherence, or memory loss in signals, computations, or memories.

In theoretical contexts, temporaalsust is used as a thought experiment to explore how a real-world system might counteract time drift, noise, or adverse time effects in high-speed data streams, quantum systems, or complex simulations. In neuroscience or artificial intelligence discussions, a temporaalsust-like mechanism would help maintain consistent temporal representation, enabling more robust sequence learning and stable memory traces.

The concept remains speculative and informal; it is not part of established scientific terminology and has limited or no experimental verification. It is most commonly encountered in fiction, genre studies, and theoretical explorations of how time-dependent processes could be stabilized under extreme conditions or novel architectures.
