Your essay was a bit on the philosophical side for my tastes, however, I enjoyed it, especially the notion of ontological memory.
I was wondering: does ontological memory lives in subtime?
You can find the latest version of it here:

(sorry if the fqxi web site splits this url up, I haven't figured out a way to not make it do that).
Ontological memory may be only indirectly accessible to us. Subtime appears to give it the kind of properties consistent with your description. My description: brief flashes of reality with long periods of darkness in between.
If I am only even a tiny bit right, I'm expect it will open up many philosophical questions.
I hope this leads to some even partial relief from the crisis of representation and interpretation in the fundamental sciences.
Let me know what you think.
Kind regards, Paul
