I agree that there is no natural preference for a basis of the
threads, but ISTM that each Intelligence has its very own basis of
biases which it "determines" as its optimal preference in a moment by
moment adaptation on surfaces of constant time.
I don't think "surfaces of constant time" are defined in the dovetailer.

There is some merit in the capacity to "look ahead" over multiple
moves, but from what I have studied so far, there are rapidly
diminishing returns when one is considering environments that are not
fixed - as real world environments tend to be.

In the UD model of the world, time as we perceive it, is
emergent. The "execution" of the program is timeless and
exists in Platonia. So the steps of the UD have no duration,
they are logically prior to time and duration. On the other
hand, I think so called "observer moments" must have duration
in the emergent sense and must overlap. But their relation
to the UD threads is more aspirational than proven.
I think it should be possible to pause and restart at any point
a process underpinning consciousness and leave the stream of
consciousness unchanged; otherwise there would be a radical
decoupling of the mental from the physical. At the limit, this
means the process underpinning consciousness can be cut up into
infinitesimals.
Infinitesimals, I think not, at least not in Bruno's model. Each
thread of the UD's computation can be cut and restarted, but
underlying an "observer moment" or a "thought" are infinitely many
threads and there is no reference by which you can define cutting
them all at "the same time". So they make the "time" of
consciousness essentially real valued.
