P.S.4 Time is a function of consciousness. Just one of the "observables", or "dimensions" of the consciousness topological space. It has nothing to do with space. Space-time is a trap. There are other "observables", infinitely many of them. Consciousness can be organized in many different, incompatible ways. Roughly.

P.S.5. Gonçalves, Madeira, "The Problem of Time in Quantum Cosmology and Non-chronometric Temporality", with their "binary relational structure" and "magma" - added to my reading list and started reading. But where is consciousness? Only in this sentence:

"According to Einstein (1953, [2004]) the states of consciousness of an individual appear, to that individual, pictured in a series of events in which each particular state, accessible to the individual’s memory, appears to be placed in accordance with an irreducible criterion of a “before” and an “after”. There is, thus, to each individual, a sense of personal time, a subjective time that is not, in itself, and, still according to Einstein (1954, [2004]), measurable, although one can associate numbers to the diﬀerent events, such that what takes place after something else, always gets a higher number, even if only the ordering of events matters, for the subjective time, and not the particular distance between the two numbers, which means that this time is not metrizable, but, solely expressible upon an ordinal scale."

P.S.6 Recently discovered: Marcin Schroeder, my ex-PhD student. I was trying to force him to work with simplicial complexes and algebraic topology, but he has chosen a more ambitious career. His papers about philosophical issues of information theory on academia.edu - very interesting.

P.S.7. Back to Aristotle, Galileo and Newton (and Cartan) - so I acquired this wonderful book:
