This paper develops a general theory of Eigenzeit relations. Its point of departure is the observation that people, institutions, and systems share the same reality and yet often appear to live in different “worlds.” The present work argues that such differences should not primarily be understood as differences of identity, culture, personality, or diagnosis, but as differences of world-binding itself. Building on the concepts of Gap, Seinsverschiebung (shift of being), Eigenzeit, negative topology, and raster formation, it is proposed that every Eigenzeit emerges as a local stabilisation of an open difference that can never be fully closed. Every form of world-binding produces a raster through which certain differences become visible while others remain invisible. Different Eigenzeiten therefore structure the same reality in different ways. To describe the relations between different raster forms, the paper introduces the concepts of overlap, glitch, and morphogenetic pressure. These concepts serve to explain how different forms of world-binding enter into relation with one another, enable shared world-formation, or encounter conflict at the limits of their mutual resolvability. Within this framework, neurodivergence, autism, artistic cognition, poverty, institutional conflicts, and artificial intelligence are examined as different contact zones between partially compatible and incompatible Eigenzeiten. Particular attention is given to the phenomenon of masking, which is understood not primarily as the concealment of traits, but as the management of different rasters within the same situation of action. The paper argues that emergence and violence can arise from the same underlying structure. Emergence appears where different rasters are able to maintain their difference productively. Violence emerges where one raster form mistakes its own resolution for reality itself and increasingly renders other forms of world-binding invisible. The paper thus shifts the question from identity to relation, from diagnosis to world-binding, and from diversity as a moral value to diversity as a structural condition of open world-formation. Earlier texts on Eigenzeit on which this paper builds can be found within the author’s research programme and, in part, in the reference list.
