Time

Time is the sequence of change that agents perceive. Time is not a container in which change occurs. Only the present flux is real. The past and the future are models that agents make, to predict and to remember. The past and the future are not locations that exist independently. Time travel is a logical absurdity, because there is no past or future condition to visit. There is only the continuous transformation of the things that are. Time emerges from infinite change as the direction in which patterns accumulate and dissolve.
