Bohm-de Broglie's Time

I am reading "Wholeness and the Implicate Order". David Bohm presents an idea originally due to Louis-Victor-Pierre-Raymond, 7th duc de Broglie. There are many coupled oscillators at many scales, with coupled non-linear oscillators there is bound to be synchronicity. According to these two thinkers, that is the origin of time. At all scales matter synchronizes, and thus time is kept.
We know the Earth takes a year to go one exact turn around the Sun. It seemed to Bohm and de Broigle, that in a fractal way, that process was occurring at all scales.
This idea is not so different as the idea we have of space. To know how far α Centauri A is, we first have to know how far the Sun is; to know that, we first have to know Earth's radius, and the distance to the Sun, better known as one Astronomical Unit.
