The illusion and reality of time
First, we have a memory of time passing
We remember that if we didn’t do something, a while later that comes back to bite us
For example we don’t do homework, and then tomorrow we don’t have homework to hand in
How ever, this memory is not something of the past, it is of the present
And this present memory encodes a belief that if we don’t do homework today we will not have homework to hand in tomorrow
This belief is strong, near universally held, and thus becomes the actual reality. Nobody doubts this because we do not have experiences that defy this (generally speaking ) However if our memories we encoded differently perhaps we will have a different experience of reality ?
As such the current state of patterns determine the next state , but more importantly the current state not only encodes the state but also encodes the rules of transformation, in the form of encoded beliefs in entities that matter . There is no fixed outside set of rules or laws that determine the transformation of states, it is all self encoded
