Presenting it in a periodic cycle is a handy way to sync our practical daily use time to the rotation of the earth, but it is not applicable to time as a dimension of our universe. That is, as we currently understand it, a continuous timelineWhat do you exactly mean? Knowing what time is is still arguable.
I just wanted to make an easy example.

Do you mean like, straight lines in Euclidean-geometry and geodesics in modern geometry?

The underlying math is different.What has this to do with our discussion of logic? I know they are two different theories, and the major problem is that gravity is not unified the three other fundamental forces.
They are different mathematical models but uses the same underlying logical rules of math.
