John: "Time is an emergent phenomena, in which the changing configuration of the state creates events which go from being future potential to past circumstance."
I still don't see the connection between time and emergent behaviour. You say thet "...even such basic structures as mass, space, and time are viewed as emergent phenomena..." So why not saying: mass is an emergent phenomena?
I believe that a 'particle' before measurment has no position nor momentum. But in the description of the wavefunction quantities like 'length' and 'momentum' are still used.
Energy and time both are scalar quantities. I wonder if the flow of time and the positive energy theorem have some connection. I think there has to be also a 'positive time theorem', for the same reasons there is a positive energy theorem.
