Now, sub and everybody, it seems to me that we are always occupying the here now, so ascribing a direction to time becomes in reality a very difficult thing. One could say that time runs in the +'ve direction, but in reality we are never ahead of ourselves to experience this phenomenon but only ever in the present, so in ascribing a direction to time we are always referencing the -'ve direction but we can't say that time moves in the -'ve direction because we are always right here, right now, even though it is permissible to assign a -'ve vector to time as this is done all the time. Since our discussion of time in retrospect always involves hindsight and foresight may I suggest that time moves in the ±'ve direction? ±'ve involves neither a forward or a backward progression but describes instead continuity, which we shall say has no direction but carries the unitary property of persistence. In so doing we remove any reference to things having a +'ve or -'ve attribute but rather assign to them the neutral attribute of ±'ve, which fits in nicely between +'ve and -'ve, which incidentally is where we find ourselves all the time, not moving forward, or getting left behind and therefore moving backward relative to that which is gaining on us, but rather comfortably right here in the ±'ve.
