We can look ever closer into the details, or step back and look at the big picture.

I think the issue of time needs more consideration. We are these mobile organisms, which is the logical basis for this sequential process of perception, that fauna need to navigate. Which physics codifies as measures of duration.

So our concept of time is 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. Duration is the present, as the events come and go.

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.

Different clocks can run at different rates simply because they are separate actions, no space travel required. Think metabolism.

Time is asymmetric because it is a measure of action and action is inertial. The earth only turns one direction.

Energy is conserved, because it is the present, not some dimensionless point. It creates time, as well as temperature, pressure, colors, sounds. 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. In terms of the wave, the energy drives it, while the fluctuations rise and fall.

Think what it would mean, for physics, if we considered that energy is not synonymous with the information extracted from it? That they effectively go opposite directions of time. The energy to the future, information to the past.

Consciousness goes past to future, while perceptions and thoughts go future to past. Though it is the gut processing the energy, while the head sorts the information. Which would explain why we obsess so much over the information and ignore the energy.

Not only physics, but how might we reconfigure society, if we understand that balance between drive and definition? Currently the social energies driving society are certainly at odds with the cultural and civic forms giving it structure.

We are eternally caught between the anarchies of desire and the tyrannies of judgement, yet our most focused efforts to understand obsess over the macro, the micro and the abstract, because everything inbetween is too messy.

Might the revolution be far larger than physics?
