A key problem here is the relationship of arrangement in space to time. Is our “constrainedness” in time the unfolding in series of discrete spatial arrangements in space? Perhaps here we need to go back to Xeno.
Even if we were to conceive of time as simply another spatial dimension, but one in which we were constrained to move in only one direction, we would be left to wonder how we move without something like time. And what would be the force constraining our movement, the “wind blowing from Paradise,” the flow from the broken vessel of Gnosticism?
