Abstract
For the purposes of this paper, Temporal Order is taken to mean regular periodic variation of some property of a system. Authenticated (but generally ignored) examples of such behavior have existed for over sixty years. However, thorough understanding of their mechanisms began only a little over a decade ago. That understanding has now progressed sufficiently that it has been possible not only to identify the mechanistic features responsible for temporal order in several specific systems, but also to say with varying degrees of confidence that no alternative features will need to be invoked to explain systems yet to be discovered.
