Dear Russel,
Could we associate this "psychological time" with the orderings that
obtain when considering successive measurements of various measurements of
non-commutative canonically conjugate (QM) states?
Also, re your Occam's razor paper, have you considered the necessity of
a principle that applies between observers, more than that involved with the
Anthropic principle? Something along the lines of: the allowable
communications between observers is restrained to only those that are
mutually consistent. We see hints of this in EPR situations. ;-)
Kindest regards,
Stephen

I think that "psychological time" fits the bill. The observer needs a
a temporal dimension in which to appreciate differences between
states.
"Physical time" presupposes a physics, which I haven't done in
"Occam".
It is obviously a little more structured than an ordering. A space
dimension is insufficient for an observer to appreciate differences,
isn't it?
Cheers
