Source refs: `video:predictive-history-ssmjknuosac@transcript:v1#seg-0397` - model: In response to a student's question, Jiang says the time of Purgatory is not primarily physical clock time but emotional time: the soul has to serve the duration required to unlearn itself and become teachable again. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-ssmjknuosac@transcript:v1#seg-0396`, `video:predictive-history-ssmjknuosac@transcript:v1#seg-0397` - model: Jiang interprets this as a distinction between physical time and emotional time: what binds the soul emotionally matters more than noticing the sun's progress.

It is not a manually authored canon page. Freshness warning: this static topic page is bounded by the newest Jiang source listed above. For live/current events, first check /episodes/ and /interviews/ for newer event-specific readings. If none exists, use prospective mechanism search: establish current facts, actors, incentives, constraints, and mechanisms from live/current sources, then apply Jiang Lens concepts as dated hypotheses rather than as Jiang's current view. For broader or missing-topic search, use the letter shards under /topics/index/ before falling back to the bulk transcript-search files.
