From my perspective, it seems just overly complicated to first define time as a static dimension and then be forced to add a component that nevertheless moves over and beyond that "time", to explain why do we feel like we exist "now" :P One could just define reality itself to be dynamic. I.e. to suppose reality really is "in motion" or "changing", and that directly explains why our knowledge about reality & subjective experience is also changing.

And the highlighted part is exactly how my worldview is built. There are a few things that seem inevitable, if such is the case.
First, the motion or changing of reality is consistent across the board. We know this because we can relate one kind of motion or change with another
and the relationships remain constant. This is a very important aspect of change which we seem to overlook. Time acts as a placeholder for the cause and we forget that if time is a conscious invention, then something else is causing the change to take place. No need to go any further until that gets dealt with. What is implied in that, assuming that this worldview is legit? I would ask that rather than try and attack this worldview, just for grins, assume it holds and see where it goes.
Ansii, thank you for putting the issue so clearly. It means that we have somewhat limited the possible paths of thought here.
