This statement suggests that both mind and time are not fixed physical entities but emergent phenomena—realities that arise from underlying processes.
“The human mind is not the brain but emergent process” emphasizes that while the brain is the biological organ, the mind is the dynamic pattern of thought, awareness, and consciousness that emerges from its activity.
Likewise, “time is not the existential event, emergent to the eventual changes” implies that time is not a natural entity in itself, but a conceptual measure arising from the sequence of transformations in reality.
Together, these ideas challenge us to see mind and time not as objects but as higher-order patterns, emerging from interactions, movements, and shifts within underlying systems.
This perspective critiques how both science and philosophy often define mind and time. Consciousness cannot be reduced to its physical substrate, and time cannot be treated as a self-existing dimension. In this view, relativistic theories of time dilation—by treating time as a natural and malleable entity—rely on a flawed assumption, reifying what is in fact an emergent relational process.
Thus, the statement proposes that what we call “time” is not a fundamental feature of the universe but a derivative perception of change, just as the mind is a derivative process of brain activity.

My idea proposed here is that the mind has both internal and external factors. Certainly the modern neurological Cartesian concept surely must immediately fail with its concept of internal provinence only. Although the brain provides specific properties these cannot explain the world made by the brain or provide a rationale for its external functions.
