Time is not so much the present moving past to future, as it is change, turning future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns.

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.

As effect, time is like temperature, pressure, color, sound. Frequencies and amplitudes. Time is frequency, events are amplitude.

So energy, as process, goes past to future, while the patterns generated go future to past. With a wave, the energy drives it out, as the ripples 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 and emotions go future to past.

Thoughts are like the wave cresting, clear and defined, yet rapidly fading, while emotions are the sense of the wave building and receding, felt, but not clear.

We have the gut and heart processing and circulating the energy, while the nervous system sorts the forms.

It may be information all the way down, but it's energy all the way up.

Galaxies are energy radiating out, toward infinity, as form coalesces in, toward equilibrium. Both entropic.

We fluctuate somewhere inbetween everything fading out and everything canceling out.
