Yes - which means that either the Bitcoin network has some kind of internal timepiece or it references an external clock in order to know how long ten minutes is, or else the difficulty adjustment wouldn't be possible. That's where I'm hung up.
Seems like referencing an external timepiece is the opposite of antifragile but I haven't found a good answer yet for how this precisely works.
