I think that allmost all of us didn't asks what is time. I am looking after mathematical formalization of time. I found the following link but doesn't exist to much documentation related to this topic.

strictly speaking time is human construct not a dimension per se.....time is always measured by human observation against some material object's motion that appears to be regular in rhythm. Einsten addresses time here https://tinyurl.com/yc8y868s he pegs time to clocks and the speed of light. Strictly speaking time is phenomenlogical a human construct and has no actual existence or mathematical basis outside a human mind which is not to say its a useless construct but that it is many things observed to create the construct but as such one should not allow the construct to have dimensional existence as a thing in itself....

& in English "does a mathematical model of time exist?" is the proper way to ask the question. The better question is "Does time Exist? And in what way does time exist for humans and does it exist in nature without humans?" Seasons are temporal but becuse some material things repeat in nature does that add to more and turn into time? For nature without memory one would think time doesn't strictly exist. Time requires memory of before and after and now it seems...
