Description
I don't believe in timespace. In my opinion time is way more fundamental than space, which is merely a byproduct. I have to admit, the word does have a geeky ring to it. Good for impressing people at parties.

Second-century Gnostic teacher Valentinus (or Valentinius) devised an elaborate system of the Coming into Being of Reality, which built on earlier Gnostic teachings, producing even more Blah about Emanations and all that than his predecessors. But then in a stroke of genius he introduces Horos, who is presumably Time, and whose task it is to separate the the "unspoilt" regions of the spiritual world from the fallen ones, from which material reality sprang forth. In addition he brings order into the material world, and gives it structure and "rigidity". Time as an ordering and structuring element, sounds entirely plausible to me. I would even dare say that it isn't time itself that does that, but the fact that it's irreversible. If those are two different things to begin with.
