Chronosomatics (theory of time/body) is a biometric (life/measure) model that applies to the entire male/female body form. Fetal development (embryonic development) enters chrono-somatically when the plane of the present begins to cut through the womb within the female body, and fetal development ends within chronosomatics when the plane of the present reaches the apex of the diaphragm (c. 3090 AD).
The female body is, of course, a key element of chronosomatics in that a second life develops within it. Note the similarity between how Eliade describes the role of the sacred and the profane in it's bringing forth a second birth, and the role of our corporal diaphragm, which has three physiological functions, aiding respiration /sacred, defecation/profane, and parturition/birth.
Chronosomatics applies to the totality of human experience, i.e., the entire range of time that the human body indeed exists. Chronosomatics began when the human body began to exist, and chronosomatics will end when the human body ceases to exist.
