Permanence presupposes time rather than helping constitute it

Evidence

The Hegelian analysis of time is not aimed at the single ‘now’; nor does time appear in it as ‘that in which’ becoming has its place. Hegel clarifies this: ‘It is not in time that everything comes to be and passes away, rather time itself is the becoming.’ Derrida comments: ‘Hegel took multiple precautions of this type. By opposing them to all the metaphorical formulations that state the “fall” into time, … one could exhibit an entire Hegelian critique of intratemporality (Innerzeitigkeit).’ — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 257 (#expands, via linked claim)

But if, on the contrary, we proceed from an adequate comprehension of the for-itself, it is no longer change which needs explaining but rather permanence—if permanence can exist. In fact if we consider our description of the order of time apart from everything which could come from the course of time, it is clear that a temporality reduced to its order would immediately become temporality in-itself. — Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness, 498 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
