Why a synthesis, and why must it always be begun afresh? Because if you treat the representation of time as itself a kind of time (even if ‘constituted’), you are left with a conundrum. Time as conceived by the left hemisphere is a thing, that just is, once and for all, and can be broken down by analysis. For the right hemisphere, on the other hand, there is only change, forever coming into being and swirling away. Time, for the right hemisphere, is not something distinct from being, from reality flowing: it is always thus a becoming, never a something become.
