It goes pretty deep.

as these mobile organisms, necesitating this sequential process of perception and having evolved a narrative based culture, we experience time as the point of the present, moving past to future.

Physics codifies it as measures of duration.

The reality is that change turns future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns. Duration is the present, as the events form and dissolve.

There is no literal 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 of activity, like temperature, pressure, color, sound. Time is frequency, events are amplitude.

Energy is conserved, because it is the present, not some dimensionless point between past and future.

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

Energy drives the wave, while the fluctuations rise and fall. One to the future, the other to the past.

Consciousness goes past to future, while thoughts go future to past. Though it is the heart and gut processing and circulating the energy, while the nervous system sorts the signal and information.

One of the many problems this creates is that people see money as the signal to extract and store, while markets need it to circulate. A medium and a store are not synonymous. Blood is a medium, while fat is a store.

That's why capitalism is not synonymous with a market economy. The tool has becomes the god.
