@Shaktidass18 @DeivonDrago @anitaleirfall well said!

@DeivonDrago @conscienceetvie @anitaleirfall Trumbull, drawing on Bergson, is arguing that psychological / experiential time (duration, memory) is primary, & the geometric time of physics is a derived representation. Rejecting the naive idea that “time is a dimension you move through” treating that as a symbol, not ontology

Leading theories of memory describe it as being stored in the brain—similarly to the way computers store memory. But this assumption relies on materialist assumptions and bypasses the hard problem of consciousness. Memory is not stored in space but in time iai.tv/articles/memor…

@YaffFesh @anitaleirfall It’s not stored in time either, doesn’t make sense for something to be “stored” in time — I didn’t use that phraseology!

Glad you agree! But let’s push the metaphor further: The sonata isn't stored in the piano keys, but neither is it stored in "Time". It persists in the tuning of the strings and the skill of the pianist (the system's structure). In my model (DWT), memory is that structural "tuning" — a Crystallized Pattern held in the Now, shaping the next note. No "Time-Box" needed.

"The correlation between brain activity and memory reports doesn’t prove that memories are stored in the brain any more than the correlation between footprints and walking proves that walking is stored in footprints[.]" iai.tv/articles/memor…

@DieterKief @anitaleirfall The most interesting lines of questioning are usually about the most obvious and all-consuming realities

@conscienceetvie @anitaleirfall The interesting questions lure - behind the obvious.

@Golovanov_ammoc @anitaleirfall @quantabhidharma Cool, thanks for sharing!

@anitaleirfall @quantabhidharma does have some other original mathematical arguments to support his understanding.

@peterbringenho1 @anitaleirfall @dmdebruijn They definitely do exist! Haha.

@anitaleirfall @dmdebruijn Indeed the hard problem. As if Berkeley, Kant and nowadays Chalmers dont exist.

@overlookedpics @anitaleirfall Time is definitely not optional. Are birth, growth, aging, and death “optional” or illusory realities?

@anitaleirfall But if physics finds time to be optional, how can memories exist? livescience.com/physics-mathem…

@Promptmethus @anitaleirfall Thanks!

Its both Matter is a more stable form then, say pure photonic, cause sometimes the spacetime side can get damaged, and the matter side can reboot it And sometimes the matter side can get a little bit damaged.And the space time side can hold on to everything and pass the info back to the matter side I do like where you're going with this, though

Thanks for sharing my article @anitaleirfall

@jjcrhh @anitaleirfall Because the mind is individual

@OSullivanFactor @anitaleirfall always!

@anitaleirfall *Bergson intensifies

@MishaRogov @anitaleirfall Interesting!

@anitaleirfall Reductionist neuromythology. The "physical brain" is a metaphysical myth, whereas the empirical brain is an intersubjective phenomenal representation of transcendental subjectivity, an "image" of the "soul". misharogov.medium.com/brain-28766303…

@DieterKief @anitaleirfall The point that time and space are distinct is not trivial, it’s essential to the way we think about these things and conceptualise them.

@anitaleirfall Memory does not work without time - -that is correct. But also a bit trivial. And in our - bodies! - - it becomes necessarily - spatial. Also a bit banal... Sigh.
