Abstract
We introduce ``stochasticity'' and ``non-locality'' to the time variable as an attempt to contemplate ``time''. These concepts are normally considered as ``space" concepts. However, we try to consider ways to export these concepts onto the time axis through simple dynamical models. For stochasticity in time, we introduce noise in the time variable but not in the ``space" variable, which is opposite to the normal description of stochastic dynamics. Similarly with respect to temporal non-locality, we consider delayed and predictive dynamics, which involve two points separated on the time axis. With certain combinations of fluctuations and non-locality in time, we show that there appears to be a ``resonance'' effect. We discuss how this line of approach may further develop thinking on the nature of ``time''
