The Time-Turner and XChronos Rereading Harry Potter Through the Logic of Chronons

This philosophical article reinterprets the magical artifact known as the Time-Turner, from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, through the ontological framework of the XChronos project. By treating the Time-Turner as a symbolic mechanism for navigating subjective time, the text explores its resonance with the XChronos concepts of Chronons (units of experiential intensity), Hexachronons (structured sequences of consciousness), and Metachronos (the reflective layer of temporal awareness).
Rather than functioning as literal time travel, the Time-Turner becomes a metaphor for agency, memory, and philosophical presence in time.
The article proposes that true magic lies not in altering time externally, but in becoming lucid within it.
This publication is part of the broader effort of XChronos to create a new symbolic language for time — one that integrates narrative, cosmology, and inner experience.
