As these mobile organisms, necessitating a sequential process of perception and having developed a narrative based culture, we experience time as the point of the present, moving past to future. The reality is that change turns future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns.

There is no dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present, to inform and drive it. Causality and conservation of energy. Cause becomes effect.

So time is an effect and measure of activity, like temperature, pressure, color, sound. Frequencies and amplitudes. Time is frequency, events are amplitude.

Energy is "conserved," because it is only present, creating change and thus time.

So energy, as process, goes past to future, while the patterns generated go future to past.

The energy drives the wave, while the fluctuations rise and fall.

Lives go birth to death, while life moves onto the next generation, shedding the old.

Consciousness goes past to future, while thoughts go future to past.

The digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems process the energy, while the central nervous system sorts and orders the information.

All our theories are built around the observation, thinking the observer is objective.

Information and the energy manifesting it go opposite directions of time.
