I just realized that you already affirmed this in another conversation. So the reason I brought it up is that a utxo that only experiences reality when a state change occurs, would not have any way of observing signature inputs, or any other external input. Therefore, the question of whether these inputs exist in our universe would be also impossible to verify, right? Fascinating to ponder, though. It reminds me thst the real fuel propelling this fractal mirror of time is us humans. If we don't interact with it, it ends. So is the Creator of our universe involved in this way as well? Or is our universe a fully contained system that propells itself? Somehow it always comes down to this question, doesn't it?

How crazy would it be if we were all just perfect money for some other society? 😅

My current model of it is that addresses are all possible state locations (addresses). That's location in a logical sense, but maps to the space we experience because of the way energy states transform. Your will acts through the keys which map to your body. You are a signer, cosigning the transactions that life offers you. You have a rational intellect that grasps the order (abstract, non physical) superstructure. That makes reality intelligible to you, so that you can choose to cosign more order into the physical world. This is what it actually means to have intelligence, and be a moral actor. You are a free intersection of temporal and non-temporal being. You have utxos (energy in time) grasp timeless order and posses a signing key. (Body, intelect, will.) I may just not get the whole block chain fractal yet. My way of thinking of it is that the present is just one block or tensor covering the state of every address. Time is a squence of stepwise locally integrated transformations via a kernel function on the whole keyspace. (A convolution.) One key space state to the next key space state. This is the paper we are talking about. It explores what Bitcoin might tell us about the architecture of time: https://bitcoinlens.net/ This essay is my take on it, poorly named because it didn't end up really going into theology, just physics and metaphysics based on the insights in the paper and how I think they really flower when grounded on Thomistic metaphysics. https://zsubmesh.net/essays/bitcoin-and-the-theology-of-t…

Yes, all movement must be transactions, meaning inclusion in blocks of time. There would be no “movement” but just different configuration states of value/memory in the ledger. So persistence without falling into the stasis of time would require continual transactions in blocks at the tip of the chain. There was a physicist who proposed this in 1927 in attempt to build a model of quantized time.
