This thought experiment was not meant to illustrate the workings of time but how an arbitrary law can foster memories only when read in one particular direction and that's why we have memories in only one particular direction. And yes, you are correct, things don't fly to the left and there is no there there to settle on ... At least the last I checked ...
And time slices are cool. You should like them too since you are such an Occam's Razor lover. Isn't it easier to accept a world composed of a finite number of slices than an infinitely divisible one? They also get rid of the idea of moving time that you so hate. Time slices could be your new meter stick. It's not a 2x4, I know but come on, try a slice, you'll like it
