I too would love to see time as a subject of our evolving systems conversations.  And share a strong sense that it is indeed a "story telling" device.  There's a lot of interesting literature on the brain related to this.  Timing the conscious and the unconscious: some implications for thinking ... and thinking about time could be a starting point; the basic argument is that "time" is clearly manipulated by the brain and seems to be an element of conscious ("story") but not unconscious processing.   Another relevant line of exploration has to do with the distinction between narrative and non-narrative story telling.
