The timer reports two numbers, the second is time between the number in the previous number. What does the first number represent? is the first number randomly chosen and then the differences affect the next number?

That first number is the running time since your first click (in some versions, the running time since you opened the program). This running time is called the 'clock time'.

It's rounding by 7 decimal places, and perhaps the human body is more likely to develop a rythem at times.

the difference is most often +- .01563 and the integer is always present. Therefore, limited space can force close but not exact measurements.

longer data extension. The fast clicks most likely didn't happen as much, but limitations rounded it.

The TIMER program is capable of determining the time between two events accurately to withing about .0001

Most of the data is rounded to the .000001 second.
