It may "in our heads" but the physical world doesn't work that way... Time would emerge
right along with space from interactions between events. We do not need to specify the
space and time before hand; all that is necessary is a huge number of events and
interactions among them.
Sure, space and time are ways of ordering and classifying events that makes it possible
describe their dynamics as simply as possible.

QM systems come with Hamiltonians
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamiltonian_%28quantum_mechanics%29> and so have
everything they need to build space-time out of their interactions. The Fishbowl fears
Occam's razor's strike!

Hi LizR,
I would like to say that as a philosopher I have one problem with
Bruno's assumptions: There is no explanation for how any form of
change and
interaction obtains. This is the main problem that I have with
Plato's
theory of Forms, and since Bruno's seems to be using a concept
equivalent
to the Forms (in AR), his idea has the same shortcoming.
It was for this reason alone that I reject Plato's theory of the
forms and
use a variation of "Process Philosophy" instead. Becoming is
ontologically
fundamental and all things, even numbers, are the products of
processes.
Processes would be defined as the members of the Class: Becoming.
Being is
the class of automorphism of Becoming, and as such Being supervenes
on
Becoming.
OK, but bear in mind that to be consistent you will also have to reject
Newtonian machanics and Special and General Relativity, as well as (most
formulations of) Quantum theory, because in all these cases what looks
to us
like change is actually a pattern embedded in a higher dimensional
space.
If one of the dimensions is called "time" I think that means there is
change. :-)
Yes, that's what I just said.
