OP Dear Faldage: The only reason I can think of that the temporal pulse might have
been recorded so early is that at times it is visible. The only other one that is often
noticed is crossed knee bounding. I remember short story about doctor in court
being challenged to tell how long ten minutes was with no clock in sight. He knew
his heart rate, and could unobtrusively curl up a finger each time a minute was up.
Same deal, a psychiatrist feeding bullshit to his therapist, could tell when therapist
was interested in his phony revelations, by watching therapist's crossed knee bounce.
Still can't figure why pulse was correlated with time in 1399 or whenever that was.
They sure had no use for seconds, or even minutes.
