C037Time and becoming
McTaggart’s earlier/later ordering does not assign numerical durations. A clock adds a metric relation among changes, together with a physical procedure for reading it. 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.

C038Time and becoming
A privileged present does not tell a clock how fast to run. Presentism and growing-block theories therefore need ordinary physical clock laws unless they add a mechanism of their own. 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.

C039Time and becoming
Relativistic clocks can be represented along worldlines in a block, where proper time depends on the path and metric. DTT’s source-generated clock must recover those relations if its outer world is to agree with relativistic physics. 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.

C040Time and becoming
Thermal time supplies a candidate flow from a state, but a physical clock must still be coupled and calibrated to that flow. 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.

C041Time and becoming
Preselection and postselection are specified relative to physical procedures and times. The two-state formalism does not derive the clocks that locate those procedures. 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.

C042Time and becoming
Whitehead’s process philosophy explains temporal order through relations among occasions, but it does not by itself fix the calibrated rate of a laboratory clock. 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.

C187Gravity and spacetime
Can a finite process generate quantum geometry while preserving the long-distance behavior of matter, clocks and gravitational fields? This article compares the source-based construction with General relativity, identifies their strongest point of contact, and works through a concrete example that separates a valid mathematical result from the further physical relation needed to explain observations.
