ITAW for explaining time as real, malleable, and part of the construct of our reality?

without saying physical but carrying the same idea of real. one that might assume locality as our time would be unique to inside our specific universe. I'm looking for something simple like physical but most people think of something you can touch and see with physical

and not just real because experiences like love and joy are real but not in the same "physical" objective way. love and joy are expressed and experienced by a sentient being. time is expressed by the universe itself albeit experienced subjectively.
