What if we consider our basic biological physiology and what biases it generates?

Consider that as fauna, we have to navigate our environment. Which would explain why our biological sentience coalesces as a sequence of perceptions, as the interface between our organic body and its environment.

So our experience is the logical basis for this flow of time, as the present moving from prior to succeeding events.

Logically though, change turns future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns.

There is no physical dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present, to inform and drive it. Causality and conservation of energy. Cause becomes effect.

Energy is "conserved," because it is the present, creating time, as well as temperature, pressure, color and sound. Time is frequency, events are amplitude.

Ideal gas laws correlate volume with temperature and pressure, so why don't we treat them as dimensions of space, as they are as foundational to our emotions and bodily functions, as the sequencing of time is to our thought process?

Different clocks can run at different rates simply because they are separate actions, in different contexts. Synchronizing them is the art.

Time is asymmetric, because it measures action and action is inertial. The earth only turns one direction.

So energy, as the physical present, goes past to future, while the patterns generated go future to past.

Energy drives the wave, while the fluctuations rise and fall.

In a factory, the product goes start to finish, future to past, while the production line points the other direction, toward the future, as it consumes material and expels product.

As lives go birth to death, while life moves onto the next generation, shedding the old.

Consciousness goes past to future, while the perceptions, emotions and thoughts giving it form and structure go future to past. Though it's the digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems processing the energy, feeding the flame, while the central nervous system sorts the information, signals from the noise.

So we tend to think of reality in terms of order and chaos, rather than energy and form. Even though galaxies are energy radiating out, a form coalesces in.

which is entropy anyway? Is it energy radiating out, toward infinity, or form coalescing back toward equilibrium?

Math is pattern recognition, but what are the processes generating those patterns?

Epicycles were brilliant math, as description of our view of the cosmos, but the crystalline spheres were lousy physics, as explanation.

If we mix up the patterns that are correlated, with those that are causal, then it's numerology.

Waves tend to either synchronize, which is centripetal, or harmonize, which is centrifugal. So we have nodes and networks, organisms and ecosystems. Is it why we have particles and fields as well?

What is, "spooky action at a distance," if not synchronization of waves?

There seems to be lots of excess gravity, which is a centripetal effect. Could it be that mass is an effect of this dynamic, rather than gravity a property of mass?

Then the excess gravity would be due to synchronization throughout the spectrum of energized waves.

Consider that black holes, as gravitational vortices, throw out pulsars, which are enormous lasers and lasers are synchronized light waves.

I could go on, but just throwing this out, as some 'outside the box' speculation.
