<div dir="auto"><div>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.<br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div><a href="https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2024/10/on-the-nature-of-time/">https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2024/10/on-the-nature-of-time/</a><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Please wash your hands after handling this mail.
