Spatialization by Making Time Past

from Spatialization of Time

Spatialization by making time into the past

• The past can be perceived as space, but the future and present are different by default.

• However, we also “make the future and present into the past” and perceive time as space.

  • I kind of understand this, but what’s the point? (blu3mo)
  • Well, I don’t think the future can be spatialized as the future, though.
    • Ah, but that’s because it’s based on the assumption that time will continue to progress, right?

• If you really know nothing about the future, you probably can’t spatialize the future as the past. (blu3mo)

  • Probably society will continue as usual, and there are schedules on the calendar.
    • Even if society completely collapses, the laws of physics in Physics will still hold, so you can spatialize the past (calculations involving time can be done).
  • It’s because we can make predictions to some extent that we can spatialize and make the future into the past.

• When reflecting on the past along the timeline, we consider causality based on vague memories and establish order based on our experiences.

  • As a result of such operations, time becomes spatialized (i.e. a timeline is created).
  • So, the timeline is based on human perception.

• In other words, even for the “past on the virtual axis” that does not have memory, such as Virtual Time,

  • If we provide believable information to establish order, we can achieve spatialization and make it into the past.
