摘要翻译：
本文提出了一个抽象的数学框架来描述认知时间和生物时间的一些特征。我们在这里集中于所谓的“扩展的现在”，作为前介入和后介入活动（记忆和预期）的结果。记忆，作为保留，在一些物理理论中被处理（松弛现象，这将启发我们的方法），而protention（或预期）似乎超出了物理的范围。然后，我们提出了一个简单的功能表达的生物Propention。这使我们可以引入“生物惯性”的抽象概念。

英文摘要：
  This paper proposes an abstract mathematical frame for describing some features of cognitive and biological time. We focus here on the so called "extended present" as a result of protentional and retentional activities (memory and anticipation). Memory, as retention, is treated in some physical theories (relaxation phenomena, which will inspire our approach), while protention (or anticipation) seems outside the scope of physics. We then suggest a simple functional representation of biological protention. This allows us to introduce the abstract notion of "biological inertia".
