Hi Folks,
Check out this paper by Kevin Knuth. In it he shows how one can
obtain space-time (and its Lorentz symmetry in the limit) from
interactions between observers and some basic relational algebra.

This is, IMHO, a nice alternative to the "block universe" concept.
It is quite good stuff, but it does not address the question of the
origin and nature of Matter (the hard problem of matter), nor the mind-
body problem (still less the comp mind-body problem: he still uses the
basic (and inconsistent) mind-brain association implicitly).
Nor do I see any threat to the block reality idea.
