Helix.CP Time locates helical expressions of space-time in Black literary, performative, and lived tradition. This project examines the temporal loops in Black ontology and the critical language of 'underlying condition' as a feature of Black life within the project of modernity.

Helix.CP Time explores how anti-blackness renders time differently from phenomena: the moment, to deep time: the Anthropocene. I trace a physics of space-time that enlivens from the racialized Black body and how it is a formative force that shapes Black knowing, living, and making in the United States.

Helix.CP Time interrogates the fugitivity in the timeliness of 'lateness' in the mundane of Black life and translates the textural differences of time as an invisible infrastructure while also acknowledging its materiality: delayed and relative justice.

Taking seriously Édouard Glissant's articulation of the ecology of \\\"Relation,\\\" I argue that CP Time is deep but more than a product of the social dysfunctionalism of slavery. Rather, CP Time alchemizes narratives of Black ontology by digitalizing the Black experience and provides a praxis of radical sociality.

This project invites readers to consider CP Time as a heuristic for understanding Black life, death and knowing and how it is managed socially, politically, environmentally, legally, and economically, how Blackness and our sensibly everyday act of timeliness make way for much slower forms of violence. When Black [after]life means, as Saidiya Hartman claims, constant \\\"scenes of subjection,\\\" at the end of the day, all we can do is take our time.
