Causation, too: but nobody seems bothered by that. :)Coherence conditions is my best bet, as opposed to>
everything goes, as that immediately makes no sense:
ultimately in a quantum mechanical form (information),
but already geometrically because *zero* (proper)
distance along a light-like path I take for serious:
zero distance is direct contact, and even sameness...

The idea of a "fixed block universe", such that all past,
present, and future is already fixed and given (and that
all thought of free will or chance is illusory) is neither
satisfactory nor warranted: and not even quite reasonable.

The idea of a "growing block universe" is a bit better,
but, either the past does not exist either, i.e. only the
*proper* present exists, or the future does exist, too
(that difference being mostly a matter of "conventions").

The idea of a "dynamic block universe" is most natural:

Meanwhile:

And that should be my last post on the matter for a
