The scientific and metaphysical discussions in foundations of physics are reaching a point where a hypothesis about the noumena (the underlying reality beyond measurement) is necessary to proceed, because the standard assumption that the physical and the noumenal are identical creates paradoxes in quantum mechanics.

Rule space is a third fundamental space (beyond physical space and branchial space) where each point represents a possible rule or law of physics; observers have positions in rule space, and the Ruliad represents all points in rule space, with our perceived laws of physics corresponding to our particular position in rule space.

Time is not fundamentally a mystical or difficult concept; operationally, time is just a label on different events in the universe that helps us tell moments apart. The puzzle is not 'what is time' but rather why time has apparent properties like direction, why we have memories of the past but not the future, and why we can affect the future but not the past.
