Mental Mass and Time Perception — The Structure of Emotion, Immersion, and Atmosphere —

This paper proposes the hypothesis that subjective time perception is determined by the structural relationship between emotion and immersion. Emotion is the static mass of a stagnant mind, and immersion is the force that moves it. The relationship between these two variables determines an individual's perception of time. Furthermore, this paper argues that atmosphere — the shared emotion within a space — influences individual time perception. This paper does not offer proof but a hypothesis. It acknowledges that the dimension of mind cannot be directly observed, and explores possible explanations within that limit.
