I'm not exactly sure where you're coming from. Mass is fundamental just like time and there is now a proposed 'cause' in the form of a Higgs particle and Higgs field - which has not yet been observed. Is this like you're thinking? A physical thing causing change? Or, some description or process or something that happened when the universe formed. I don't want to make assumptions about what you're saying and it's not exactly clear to me.

I guess what I'm saying is that either everything in existence is expending energy and attempting to reach a stable configuration and is riding on the momentum of the big bang or there's something else that is driving change. Something makes electrons spin and chemical reactions take place.
It seems like we just take all of that activity for granted without even considering that there might be a universal cause. And the things which we call laws of nature might actually have a cause.
And I think that a big clue is how we've handled the concept of time. It indicates that we might have had a blindspot here, and by 'we' I mean the masses including myself. I really can only speak for me though. Maybe others don't get confused.
