Two basic images of time with which I am familiar are linear time and cyclical time. Linear time is a EuroAmerican concept that divides time into progressing units which continue in a straight line ad infinitum. Cyclical time is a Native American concept which marks time in repeated cycles, seasons, life cycles, rotations of the earth around the sun, rotations of the moon around the earth, etc., in which time is seen as repeating itself in cycles that progress forward in a spiral.

When I read your question, “2 meanings of Time”, my first thoughts were Time as a noun and Time as a verb. “The time was 3:00 AM” “The timing for my engine was off.”

I don’t think this is the way your article used time. You are going to have to read the article to find the answer.
