Time in the Cognitive Theoretical Model (CTMU): Illusion, Reality, or Both?

The CTMU challenges the traditional view of time as a linear sequence. Instead, it proposes that all states of reality exist simultaneously within a unified framework. What we perceive as the flow of time is merely a byproduct of observation, where consciousness organizes these states into a sequence for comprehension.

This perspective aligns with modern physics, such as block universe theory, which suggests that past, present, and future coexist. Time’s progression is not inherent to reality but a construct shaped by perception and context.

In the Cognitive Theoretical Model of the Universe (CTMU), time exists as a medium for consciousness to navigate and interpret reality. Observation organizes events into sequences, giving rise to the perception of time as linear.

Understanding time as both an illusion and a reality reveals our interconnected role in shaping existence. Time is not merely a constraint but a tool for self-reflection and universal coherence.
