Granted that all possible states exist, what changes the point of the
present moment from one to another. My referring to 'the thinker' was
probably not a helpful metaphor. Given the universal numbers, what
carries out the process whereby one is transformed into another? What
makes the state of the thinker or the dreamer into the state of that
entity at the next moment?

I think the idea is analogous to the block universe. In Platonia all
the states of "the thinker" and his relation to the world are "computed"
in a timeless way. The impression of time for "the thinker" is
recovered by putting the states into a sequence which is implicitly
defined by their content.
