How to Recognize the Past of a Timeline

• The past of Physical time can only be recognized through traces (philosophizing about “time”).

  • Traces are:
    • Evidence of something that happened (causal relationship).
    • Memories that remain in the brain.
  • Because we can remember that something happened or see the traces of what happened, the existence of the past can be recognized.
  • The “past” itself no longer exists (well, obviously).

• On the other hand, things might be different for time axes other than physical time (blu3mo).

  • In some cases, even without traces, the past can be understood through Spatialization of Time.
    • Like the YouTube playback bar.
      • Well, you could argue that this is also a type of trace in a broad sense.
    • Even in physical time, clocks, for example, allow us to perceive the past through Spatialization of Time.
      • But ultimately, this is still a trace of the movement of the clock hands.

• Ultimately, it’s a matter of the Believability of traces, so it’s okay even if they are false.

• Is “Memory of experience” similar to other traces, or is it a special type of trace? (blu3mo)

  • (Special in the sense that memories have significantly more reality when it comes to recognizing the “past”.)
  • In fact, memories of experiences can be easily influenced by other traces (unreliable memory), so they may not be that special after all.
    • Similar to something like the Diary of Past Alterations.
