👉 recentness, also known as temporal distance, is a measure of how far two events are in time. It is calculated by subtracting one event from another and then dividing that result by the number of units between them. For example, if an event A occurs 10 years ago and another event B occurs 5 years later, the recentness of A to B can be calculated as (10 + 5) / 2 = 6 years.
