Just to avoid confusion, “circular time” is meant differently than what is commonly understood as “cyclical time”. Where “cyclical time” repeats a series of similar or identical events, “circular time” does not repeat. What I am interested in is:
-A series of events that, as I said, do not repeat. The total duration of a circular timeline is defined by the circumference of the circular timeline.
-A series of events that has no determinable beginning/ending point.
-A series of events which are circular via their causal relationships.
Cyclical time, it seems, uses the circle as a merely simplified representation of an actually linear timeline, which just happens to have a repeating set of events.
