In essence, therefore, we experience time because of the interplay between
our computational boundedness as observers, and the computational
irreducibility of underlying processes in the universe. If we were not
computationally bounded, we could “perceive the whole of the future in one
gulp” and we wouldn’t need a notion of time at all. And if there wasn’t
underlying computational irreducibility there wouldn’t be the kind of
“progressive revealing of the future” that we associate with our experience
of time.
