If it turns out, as many physicists speculate, that
time is not of and by itself an object, but a quality
of the other three dimensions on the world sheet, than
is it possible to surmise that outside of our material
consciousness, the whole universe is a fourth dimesnional
construct or object of which time, like lustre or
weight, or m is just a quality. And if this is
the ertion, then is the object already made in its
entirety, past present and future? If we are a part of
this object-universe, do we have anything approaching
free will? When this was posed to another group, some thought
that G-d had complete control and all was predetermined. Others
thought that predetermination was an accurate essment
overall, but somehow, undetectable, there was some
squirming room for independent action on the whole
in real time. Others thought that there was complete
self-determination and free will without any restraints.
I liked this last one because it means what I do has meaning
and choice is a true function and not one hooked to a
higher system of which we are only one of many parts.
I also pose the view that there is the possibility
for other levels unperceivable that are higher systems
that do have impact of this system. Those levels could
be currently unavailable to our view due to the restricion of
localized physics or the fact they may constitute
a region outside of space as we know it.

Any input on this or does this seem like sophistry or
rehashed ideas?
