C003Time and becoming
A block universe can contain an ordered sequence of all completed records, including every observer’s changing knowledge. DTT’s claim that records arise through inner production is therefore not contradicted merely by representing those records as a spacetime whole. 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.

C046Time and becoming
Thermal time is sensitive to the state and observable algebra, so it need not provide one universal synchronization across all observers. DTT’s outer completion likewise begins with accessibility and must explain how local flows can be compared. 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.

C057Time and becoming
An eternalist can explain why every observer experiences a local now by locating the observer’s state within a complete history. DTT asks whether that explanation omits the production of the state itself. 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.

C325Mind and metaphysics
Ibn Arabi’s attention to modes of knowing and manifestation gives the experienced present a significance that exceeds clock duration. SMM/DTT can relate this to the way a completed world becomes available to an observer. 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.

C326Mind and metaphysics
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.

C327Mind and metaphysics
Spinoza’s account of mind as related to the body makes the experienced present inseparable from an organized embodied perspective. SMM/DTT can draw on this relation when it treats an observer’s outer access as part of the generated world. 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.

C355Mind and metaphysics
Ibn Arabi’s attention to the conditions under which reality is known gives observer participation a richer meaning than physical disturbance alone. SMM/DTT can connect this with the way a completed world is available through particular perspectives. 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.

C356Mind and metaphysics
Leibniz’s many monads offer distinct perspectives coordinated by pre-established harmony. SMM/DTT instead seeks a common production of perspectives and their mutually consistent records. 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.

C357Mind and metaphysics
Spinoza’s unified order permits finite perspectives that are partial without being detached from reality. This is a useful partner for SMM/DTT’s account of observer participation: a generated observer can have limited access while belonging to the same world as the observed object. The comparison develops this distinction through a worked example and explains its implications for SMM/DTT’s nested generation and completed records.

C358Mind and metaphysics
Neutral monism can describe observer and observed as different organizations of one basis, reducing the temptation to posit an absolute gulf between mind and world. 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’s intrinsic standpoint and ordinary intersubjective observation concern different access relations. A system’s proposed experience is analyzed from its own causal organization, while an external scientist studies that system through measurements. 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 faces the problem of distinct first-person perspectives within an experiential whole. SMM/DTT faces the related constructive problem of different observer readouts from one 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.

C398Connections across theories
A sequence of propositions becomes a classical probabilistic history only under suitable consistency conditions. This article develops an elementary qubit family, explains why incompatible descriptions cannot be combined into one unrestricted archive, and compares that restriction with DTT’s programme of source-generated observable records.
