Could tulpa tell time?

[Atticus]

So I was wondering if you gave your tulpa a watch could they tell you what time it is?

[QB2]

Not unless you had unconscious understanding of what time it was.

It would probably say whatever time you assume it is.

[Phi]

Yes, but they may not always be spot on. If you guess what time it is without looking at a clock right now, to the best of your potential, that would be around what the tulpa would see in its watch. It would go off of your internal clock, which may be spot on or way off depending on how you perceived the passage of time throughout the day.

I've done some time checking tests, most of Uzo's answers falling somewhere within 3-15 minutes of the actual time. It works fairly well, and could still improve with some more practice at reading the body clock.

 

I bet if you went through some jet lag, a tulpa's whole sense of time would be warped for awhile.

[Chupi]

They're obviously limited to the body's internal clock unless there's some indication of time that you're seeing but not consciously taking in. Length of shadows or sounds that occur at certain times, perhaps.

 

They might be better able to "read" your internal clock than you though. I haven't done anything on this with my tulpae, though I did have one experience where I was able to properly see my internal view of time. I was working on this and visualizing from another point in my room, with my eyes closed. When I looked at my (visualization of my) alarm clock, I couldn't visually make out the numbers on it, but as soon as I looked at it, "3:24" popped into my mind. Curious, I opened my eyes and looked, and it was 3:22. My conscious estimate would have been something like "somewhere between 3:15 and 3:45".

(I can't do this on command, probably because my conscious estimate would act as an expectation and screw up what I try to "read" from the visualized clock. This time it just happened; I wasn't thinking about the time at all until the estimate popped into my head.)

[Kadoh]

Couldn't you just set it up so that the numbers on the clock change? So if you just remember how long a second is, you could set up the clock to work like a real one? The brain is a pretty powerful thing, I think it would be capable of setting up a real-time continuous clock.

[Chupi]

This is exactly what the internal clock is, minus the visual representation. It's just that if I try to access it in any way, I'm very likely to get my conscious expectation of what it will say rather than the actual time from it.

[Frosty]

Ever have those moments when you guess the time and are pretty much spot on and feel like some kind of time savant?

 

Alternatively, ever have those moments when you think it's gotta be 11 at night and it's only 8 because it started getting dark out earlier? (happened to me last night)

 

Well that's prolly about how accurate your tulpa can tell time. If you happen to be at least semi aware of the time then your tulpa may be rather accurate, but if you're not then they could very well be off by a wide margin.

 

 

So unless you happen to be pretty well aware of what time it is quite often, then I'd say your tulpa's ability to tell time would probably be about 50/50.

[Oguigi]

Yes and no, If you follow a rotuine everyday then your tulpa would be very good at telling the time, but if your all over the place doing what you want whenever then your tulpa would be way off guessing the time.
