Now, keeping in mind this important distinction, we shall venture into the realm of metaphor. The following comparison, although not particularly creditable, will serve so long as it isn't taken too literally. Although, as we have noted, this is an oversimplified outlook, the one important similarity is that both the human nervous system and the computer contain internal clock mechanisms of some kind. This, in both cases, is simply a convenience to provide an easy line along which data can be received and action performed. Depth, duration, width, height.
Nothing can have no thickness, or no duration over time, or no height or width.
So, for the purposes of this paper, we will treat time as a spatial quality. The Schrodinger's Cat paradox is not a paradox at all. When we open the box, we find a cat that is perhaps alive, but in the universe next door, he is dead. We jump from one track to another constantly. Sometimes, we remember something being one way in the past, but it is another way now.
