Reminds me of the transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics
<
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transactional_interpretation> which
kinda paints reality as a graph of interactions, in a way that mirrors
some ideas about distributed systems. Under that interpretation, it's
possible to consider time as emerging from the network (if you want
it). I tend to try and think of time this way, rather than as linear.
Which one is "lived experience"? Neither?
