C020Time and becoming
Presentism and growing-block theories primarily specify the temporal extent of reality. DTT’s generative programme instead asks how determinate states are produced. The comparison develops this distinction through a worked example and explains its implications for SMM/DTT’s nested generation, completed records and account of the observable world.

Leibniz’s succession of perceptions provides a natural account of an enduring perspective through changing contents. SMM/DTT instead needs to explain how a generated observer carries a coherent present across renewed completions. The comparison develops this distinction through a worked example and explains its implications for SMM/DTT’s nested generation, completed records and account of the observable world.

Cosmopsychism begins with an experiential whole, while the experienced present belongs to a limited perspective with selective memory and anticipation. SMM/DTT’s production of local readouts could help articulate how a restricted present depends on a wider source. The comparison develops this distinction through a worked example and explains its implications for SMM/DTT’s nested generation, completed records and account of the observable world.

A completion event can be modelled as an instrument that releases a record and changes a state. This article develops that bridge explicitly, explains why successful completion must not secretly filter an unknown input, and shows how an autonomous source can add a physical timing and memory mechanism to ordinary quantum operations.

Two devices can leave exactly the same visible state yet behave differently at the next intervention. This article demonstrates that fact with a two-swap memory model, explains the process-tensor description, and shows how DTT’s distinction between inner retention and outer records can become a concrete operational claim.

A quantum history contains ordered alternatives and the operations connecting them. This comparison explains how history amplitudes differ from a classical list of past events, works through the failure of naive probability addition, and identifies the source-memory structure DTT would need to make temporal entanglement a precise physical claim.

Relativistic quantum evolution can be organized by spacelike hypersurfaces instead of one preferred laboratory clock. This article explains the integrability condition, proves order independence for two separated local operations, and asks how DTT can distinguish private generation order from the causal order of accessible completed records.

Information that disappears from a local state can later return through a retained memory. This comparison calculates a qubit coherence revival, explains the difference between information-backflow witnesses and full intervention-based memory tests, and identifies how DTT can add a constrained source mechanism to standard open-system dynamics.

Real representation theory can distinguish real, complex and quaternionic phase structures without postulating an extra physical time coordinate. This article solves a simple commutant, explains how a dynamical generator can select a compatible complex structure, and identifies the remaining physical steps in the SMM/DTT phase programme.

Entanglement can encode geometric connectivity in particular gravitational theories, but a correlated pair is not automatically a traversable wormhole. This comparison calculates how different pairings change accessible entanglement, explains the scope of ER=EPR, and identifies the source-to-geometry dictionary required by SMM/DTT.

A field theory can be organized by the observable algebras available in spacetime regions. This comparison works through local commuting algebras with a globally entangled state, explains the extra requirements for a continuum field theory, and asks how DTT can generate both the regions and their causal measurement structure.

C438New research questions
The claim that space arises from time can express a causal mechanism, an ontological grounding relation or an effective description at a new scale. These are different achievements. This essay gives SMM/DTT a precise vocabulary for each, works through a coarse-graining example and identifies what a successful single-source explanation would establish.

A cone of admissible displacements can possess Lorentzian symmetry before a model explains actual moving clocks and rulers. A boost calculation and a scale transformation show what cone preservation fixes and what it leaves free. This sharpens the SMM/DTT path from temporal generation to a physical relativity principle.
