Hi Tim,

Thanks for the analogy, comments after your paragraph.

What you describe reminds me of a Light Cone analogy.  This is where
the moment depicts all past realities impinging in a single point and
then expanding to all possible realities in the future.  That is
everything preceding comes to together to make up the moment, and then
helps define everything that will happen.  Of course each moment in
every place makes this a complicated system, but it is useful when
simplifying it to one's own moment.

One could envision this constriction of reality into a single moment
as a simple physical predictive occurrence, that is, one of
determinism.  Where our current understanding of physics leaves us,
however, is that we do not know how to predict.  This is because the
math falls apart, and we are left only with probabilities.  Therefore
in addition to all the static quality which we can conceptualize, we
need a dynamic component which we cannot.  It is the interplay between
these that form our reality.  As humans our attempt is to go farther
and farther into this dynamic component and make it more static.  Gods
of old have become physical phenomenon, leading to new Gods.

Cheers,
