I don’t know. Ideas not that together yet. Reading stuff about Bergson and others along these lines.

How about, time is the infinite self-reflection of consciousness regarding itself, like mirrors facing each other

It might be that spacetime only mirrors consciousness but not that consciousness only mirrors spacetime.

Weird new theory: the root of spatiality is an effect of a real relation between an attribute of a given thing and some other thing; the root of temporality is any growth of the form "relation x, once formed, now comes to found a new relation y," causing succession/progression.

The difference between the "root," as I describe it, and spatiality and temporality themselves, is that the latter further require (a) direct experience of real relations, (b) synthesis of these by a spatiotemporal modeling system (as we observe in animals).

Have you ever read the explanation about entropy as a result of human memory? I.e. if you could truly reverse something you would also reverse our memory of it? That works quite well for me together with the assumption that the universe imagines itself anew in every moment.

Worse than that, it's not even a coherent concept. Watch Marvin Minsky calling it a "suitcase word" in one of the very few useful comments on the topic I've encountered:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6r70jzcmMxU …

The main takeaway is that the concept of a consciousness is socially useful, because we need the distinction between doing something consciously vs unconsciously for so many of our other assumptions to work (e.g. guilt, education, punishment, law, ...).
