    Growing block time structures for mathematical and conscious ontologies
    A version of the growing block theory of time is developed based on the choice of both consciousness and mathematics as fundamental substances, while dismissing the reality/semantics distinction usually assumed by works on time theory. The well-analyzable growing block structure of mathematical ontology revealed by mathematical logic, is used as a model for a possible deeper working of conscious time. Physical reality is explained as emerging from a combination of both substances, with a propose…Read more
    A version of the growing block theory of time is developed based on the choice of both consciousness and mathematics as fundamental substances, while dismissing the reality/semantics distinction usually assumed by works on time theory.

Physical reality is explained as emerging from a combination of both substances, with a proposed specific version of the Consciousness Causes Collapse interpretation. This leads to new solutions to old problems, including the epistemic problem and issues with Relativity.
