We experience events unfolding over time. That is our 3D space. What we perceive every moment of every day. Out senses have evolved to react to events of the moment. Those senses allowed us to experience change over time. We evolved to track that change with the development of our neural network. A system with elements, associated elements, structures of elements, and an elemental physics that evolves the formation of self-organizing structures. Couple this with "emergent" feed-back systems carrying out emergent-emergent functions (i.e., never before interactions with the universe outside of its own structure -- like the emergence of full spectrum sight, which we have and continue to achieve). These levels of complexity, because of physics, self-organize and create a sensorial and adaptive potential to the events of an even more complex structural part of the universe. We are sensing more, so we are knowing more. We code that knowing, that state of our neural network, with words. We then weave words into sentences into passages into the never ending story of HDML.
OUR we voulfd accept that the physical structure, of which we are a part, is a structure of 4 Dimensions ... a structure where nothing changes. Weird? Yes it is. A 4D model of our universe suggests that we are an "emergent" strand ucture that exists, in its entirity, along a path, a brush stroke of the universe itself, and that we exist along a brush stroke at every Plank point....that is an incredibly small distance, but a distance nonetheless. As complexity theory suggests, there is no need for an emergent structure to necessarily share feedback loops with a previous, more basic building block structure. Hence, one emergent structure need not, necessarily share direct communication with an adjacent hierarchical structure. This brings us to Dermot's et. al., (my apologies to the others whom I can not recall) recent incantation known as the HDML. Bravo! A brilliant modeling of what we knows is actual and true from those who scientifically study Complexity, which account for the emergence of so many many phenonenon of which we can sense -- astronomy and cosmology, quantum -->relitivistic ==> classical physics; inorganic --> organic chemistry, ,,,; mutual entailment --> relational networks related, and "Here we are!!" To go from here we must now evolve those deictic relations that parse our 4D universe into complex Deictic Repertoires, and you can see how we might have lost touch. Whatever model is evolved, it must contain within it a summary description of the evolution of "We/Now" (it always has to be ":We/Now" as the referent) as an emergent structure allowed vis athe multi-level contributions and structure supporting roles jmodeled at the levels of physics, chemistry, biological chemistry, and so on...to where we are now, with RFT (as a model, a Feynman Diagram, you might say, for mapping the significant neural effects of complex, patterned and emergent stimulus control).
Personally, I'm not a fan of the "Block Universe" way of being.
