>> the value of a variable in a language that supports mutation depends implicitly on time

Mind blown.




What blows my mind is that variables in C implicitly depend not only on time but also on the entire contents of memory!


And also depend on all the contents of disk and network and all attached input devices.


And if things are multithreaded then shared memory variables depend implicitly upon all possible actions of all possible simultaneous threads.
