“More and more events happen as time moves on, but they happen objectively from past causes to future effects. The events themselves don’t come from the future, assuming the future isn’t fixed.”

I suppose I should ask if you see the present configuration of the energy and mass/form, as all that is physically real? Or whether prior configurations exist in some other dimension?

If so, how? Doesn’t the current configuration require the prior configuration to give way and be transfigured, as cause and effect?
