Measurable time structure (chronome) of a variable. The chronome (derived from chronos, time, and nomos, rule) represents quantitatively the measurable time structure of any variable, biological or environmental. In biology only, the ending "-ome" can also stand for "chromosome", to convey the genetic basis of (habitat- and broader cosmos-influenced) multifrequency rhythms, which are the major elements of chronomes, along with developmental and other age trends, and chaos, all interacting as feedsidewards among different frequencies in us and in our environment.
