In terms of the overall market process, a lender and a borrower experiencing different time spans is equivalent to a lender and a borrower having different time preferences [1].
Those with the shortest time preferences will borrow at higher interest rates; those with the longest time preferences will lend at lower interest rates.
All the math about clocks and reference frames is just scientism.
