That is a very thought provoking article, but I think the point I raised, that our biological sentience coalesces as a sequence of perceptions, in order to navigate, is a physiological issue that would clarify

many of our problems with time.

If we think of it in terms of change turning future to past, then it's more like temperature, pressure, color and sound, than something resembling a spatial dimension.

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

Ideal gas laws correlate volume with temperature and pressure and they are as foundational to our emotions and bodily functions, as sequence is to thought, but we have enough perspective to not consider them dimensions of space, even though they are as closely related to spatial dimensionality, as change is.

Different clocks can run at different rates simply because they are separate actions. Think metabolism.

The reality is that culture and civilization are very much a function of getting everyone dancing to the same tune, following the same narrative, obeying the same laws, using the same measures, that it seems there should be some universal, Newtonian flow of time, but there is rabbit time and turtle time and the turtle is still plodding along, long after the rabbit has died.

It isn't necessarily entropy that gives time direction, but the fact that we are measuring a physical action and it is inertial. The earth only turns one direction.

My situation is that I don't have a particularly advanced education, but have had to deal with nature up close and personal, having grown up in the horse racing industry, so human culture has been a few steps removed for me and I find the differences between nature and culture to be quite large on occasion.

Here is a essay where I try bridging that gap;
