For Heidegger, time was not something-in-itself, or elemental to instruments of its calculation, but rather lodged in the constitutive enablement of, for instance, change, becoming, coming to, emerging out of, springing forth from, locomotion and so on.
This thinking is directly elaborated in his work but equally clearly suggested by his use of the German term Ereignis, which posits the temporality of creation and perception in an Aristotelian notion of time ‘as nothing but event’ — thus time is viewed as a relative located occurrence rather than as measured dislocated duration.
