Time’s plasticity requires both synchronic and diachronic self-differentiation
Evidence
In this capacity to differentiate itself from itself time displays the marks of its plasticity. Yet this differentiation itself requires a twofold understanding. For it is, on the one hand, synchronic: the Hegelian concept of time cannot be reduced to a singular meaning. And on the other hand, it is diachronic: to say that time is not always what it is also means that it temporally differentiates itself from itself, that it has, to put it another way, a history. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 265
