Is time fungible?

I would assume yes, since each and every unit of time is identical and mutually interchangeable; however, unlike currency and other tangible commodities (which is fungible), time does not circulate within a closed system.

Perhaps a better question: is circulability essential for a commodity to be fungible?

I don't see how these questions end up being similar.
Shit thread either way, take your freshman prompts to /b/.

That board was finally added? I'll go there, I guess.

If circulability is essential for a commodity to be fungible, then time is not fungible because it does not circulate. If circulability is not essential for a commodity to be fungible, then time can be fungible because its lack of circulability does not affect whether it is fungibility.

>fungible
your problem is related to believing spacetime is a "real" thing

Regardless of whether time is real, it can be treated as such. Assuming time is real (because it is useful to treat time as if it is), is it fungible?
