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.
Good point.
But that is where the "infinitesimal" comes in, I would say, be them
in terms of Cauchy sequences or in term of Non Standard analysis,
that's not important at this stage. It depends on the mathematics of
the arithmetical measure on 1p experiences (we get them trough the
math of self-reference, but are still a long way from an arithmetical
Gleason theorem).
