After a few cocktails, once or twice, I've wondered with friends whether some "fuzzy" information rate constant might be a reference by which our brain understands the passage of time. In other words: if there is a fundamental processing rate of x/time, then theoretically, wouldn't our brains subconsciously use that for all kinds of neat reasons?

And the rate wouldn't have to be the exact same value for each individual, so long as the brain can attune its specific value to other reference points to time in nature.
