C343Mind and metaphysics
Ibn Arabi’s distinctions among temporal and spiritual modes invite SMM/DTT to treat eternity as more than an indefinitely long clock interval. The source can be understood as grounding succession without being simply an earlier event in that succession. 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 monads have successive perceptions, while necessary truths and the divine ground have a different relation to temporal change. This helps clarify SMM/DTT’s distinction between generated succession and the status of its 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.

IIT analyzes an experience through a specified causal structure and temporal grain. It does not establish a metaphysical eternity beyond succession. 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 may place local temporal experiences within a wider experiential whole, but a cosmic subject need not be timeless. It could possess its own succession, or its relation to time could be left unspecified. 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.
