The issue is in the math itself. Cause/effect is built-in. Start
here. End there. There's ways WITHIN to mitigate somewhat, but
the issue is systemic.
Time won't likely be conquered until causation assumptions
within mathematical cascades are allowed to be mitigated.
Won't be easy: the overwhelming success of mathematics as a tool
for physics discovery (and theoretical physics is dependent upon
it nearly entirely now) means it's not likely other options will
have much sway.
Systems thinking comes closer, although not perfect either.
Platonism is hard to remove. In short, there's a "doctor, heal
thyself" problem in mathematics; the assumption of ideal
realities separate from our own that are somehow capable of
describing perfectly ... this.
But what room is there for the day theoretical physicist had his
coffee secretly switched to decaf and the latest political news
got him really angry that morning, and it effected his primary
hypothesis that led into a perfectly constructed something that
works perfectly within its own realm, but neglects psychological
state of the physicist in its generation in the first place?
