Re: Zman
It is absent in the Vatiten lanu of the Yamim Nora'im
If Z'man were  introducing something seasonal it could have read for RH
Es Yom Hazikaron hazeh, z'man Shofroseinu [or something similar] instead of
Yom (zichron) T'ruah
And for YK
Es Yom Hakippurim hazeh z'man Selichoseinu [or something similar] instead of
just limchila

IOW why not use Z'man as a consistent formula throughout?

Some want to read Herisueinu & Mattan Toroseinu as the historical points and
then shift to the agriucltural for Sukkos.   While plasuible it is not as
likely as seeing all following the hisorical aspect.  Matan Torah is certain
openly indicated in the Humash. The 3 agricultural reasons are.  If Z'man
indicative of an agricultural theme for one, it could  have easily been
used for all 3.
