      We can only observe the passage of time through change so in an enclosed system of one pirate we would only observe the passage of time when they die so long as they do not move beforehand. So in an immovable multipirate system we would only be able to measure time through the rate of death even if that rate is not constant.

      Is it possible that within this system there is no objective passage of time? Could it then be stated that the death of pirates in the causing the passage of time?
