A+ stuff Here! As I was reading, the concept of the atman (sp?) Popped in my head, as I recall it's akin to The Observer, but distinct from the person or ego or the Thinker. If as you question this recursive process gives rise to time, then human discovery of spacetime/4D brings in a level of Strangeness, a time static perspective, in which observation as so formulated can't exist ( I think, typing as I chew in this)

I don't think time is a separate dimension. I like Wolfram's formulation that essentially "reality" is constantly being updated, say, like a Turing machine. point by point. but they don't necessarily happen in the perfect temporal order. We however, our survival depends on a single line of time, so our perception stiches things into that single line of time. He says that's why we get quantum effects, essentially.

Hmm. Time gets difficult to think about. I think of the statelessness of LLMs, in what ways is their observation alike/dissimilar to ours. But their relationship to language may be different than ours, and language does some reality creation that may or may not be purely computational. I've been approaching these questions from Wittgenstein (and lately I guess complex systems, but that only as much as needed to understand what Llms tell me I've been up to). But I've had some good results by trying to contemplate things from that 4d perspective

this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ātman_(Hinduism) I like that. I'm leaning toward what is left of self devoid of context.

4D was good enough for Einstein in the end, but I recall he didn't trust it in the beginning.
