It’s hard to wrap your head around the concept of time in the Wolfram model.

Just as the hypergraph isn’t in space, it is space, so the evolution of the hypergraph doesn’t happen in time, it is time.

We don’t need to assume an axis of time – a scale along which we can measure what happens when – any more than we need assume three axes of space – scales along which we can measure what’s where.

Time emerges from the hypergraph.

This is not only a significant strength of the Wolfram model over our existing theories, it’s also a profound clue, not just to the nature of time, but to the nature of the universe.
