Sequence–space synesthesia
“Sequence–space synesthesia is estimated to occur in 8–12% of the general population” (Chun & Hupé, 2013; Ward et al., 2018). My concept of time is an ever-repeating oval ‘track’. Right now I’m standing at the south west - January 2023. To my left, clockwise, is the future. The summer months, July and August, are north east in relative space. To my right is the past - although certain months begin to disappear as the oval curves away. As time progresses, I inhabit a new location - I move rather than the oval moving. June is north, relative to where I am now; once there I will be gazing down towards December in the south. It feels as though the years overlap one another… anniversaries take on a physical sensation; memories appearing so much stronger within the same month that an experience occurred in years gone by (senses heightened - a memory from 20 years ago is within reach)
