We live in an epoch of recentivism, where the main protagonist is virtual reality. Objectively, it is only me who exists, and all the rest is my momentary, virtual reality. What I cannot name is the eternal being, and I know nothing about it. The essential fact about virtual reality is that there is no future, no past in it, but 'recens' - a tremulous existence of a present moment, coming out of nothingness into being, and then going back to nothingness. Virtual being, although it is closer to actualization, remains non-actualized in a form of phenomena endowed with duration; it happens but does not create a phenomenon. What are then virtuality and duration if related to the state of mind? This is the major question posed by the author. And immediately he feels obligated to reveal a hypothetical solution: since an event is a being deprived of duration and a phenomenon makes a being endowed with duration, consequently a virtual being that happens without creating a phenomenon does not possess its own 'npokeimenon' to settle its duration. Two tips of nothingness are placed at both its verges: the "futurelessness" and the ''pastlessness". Only then would the overused notion of virtuality gain some sense...
