This book presents an interdisciplinary approach to the question of how observer-participant perspectives are generated, what constrains them and how they may be modified. These questions are of vital importance and must be addressed in any discipline before formulating a hypothesis or designing a model about reality. Both epistemological questions about the nature of temporal nested structures and practical applications of our ability to contextualize are discussed. The resulting temporal observer-participant perspectives reflect approaches to the concept of simultaneity from the viewpoints of philosophers, logicians, cyberneticists and systems theorists, mathematicians, psychologists, medical practitioners, physicists, educationists, economists and musicologists. Although the main focus is on the cognitive sciences, as constraints to observer perspectives arise primarily from this field, the book will appeal to researchers of all disciplines and interested layman readers.

"It is an exquisite book of rare insights and wide-ranging examples illuminating 'simultaneity' and the elusive 'now' ... From the lucid and enlightening prologue of Peter Weibel to the many and profound contributions of (amongst numerous others) Otto E Rossler, and guided by the acumen of the book's editors, we are taken on a timeless journey."Professor Anthony MooreAcademy of Arts & the Media, Cologne"This book is very helpful for any scientist, whether young or experienced, who works in fields dealing with the phenomenon of emergence, from fractal research to temporal structures such as nestings and synchronization. The authors succeed in painting a comprehensive picture of the concept of simultaneity from the viewpoint of various disciplines. Scientists will find new tools and ideas for their research and interested laymen will gain an insight into the state-of-the-art research."Sifis Micheloyannis, MDUniversity of Crete, Greece
