Great question! The concept of time being an illusion can be tricky, especially when we consider the existence of the individual. Let me explain how this idea fits within the Interactive Universe Theory (IUT). In IUT, time is viewed as an emergent property of the consciousness field. This means that while time as we perceive it—linear and continuous—might be an illusion, it still plays a crucial role in our experience of reality. Consciousness is the fundamental fabric of reality, and time emerges from the way consciousness processes and integrates information. The individual, as an expression of this consciousness, experiences time as a necessary framework for existence and change. Without this framework, the continuous evolution and development of the individual wouldn't be possible. When we say time is an illusion, it doesn't mean time doesn't exist. Instead, it means that time, as we perceive it, is a construct that arises from deeper, more fundamental processes. These processes are part of the consciousness field that underlies all reality. So, time is real in the sense that it structures our experiences and interactions, but it is not a fundamental aspect of reality itself. The individual exists because of the consciousness field, and time is the way this field organizes and processes experiences. If time were to "disappear," it would indeed disrupt the individual’s sense of self and continuity. But because time is an emergent property of consciousness, it remains a crucial aspect of how consciousness expresses itself in the universe. The continuous change and evolution of the individual are made possible by the flow of time. This flow is how consciousness experiences and processes reality. Even if time is an illusion at a fundamental level, it is an essential aspect of our reality as individuals within the consciousness field. So, while time might be an emergent property rather than a fundamental one, it is still crucial for the existence and evolution of the individual. Time provides the structure necessary for consciousness to experience change, growth, and development.

With respect to the above paragraph, as the mere verbal construct, the recommended text is not interested at all. Instead, I would extend my idea.
First of all, time is a basic physical quantity, as real as the space is. Its sensory restriction to the present instant is conditioned by our travel along respective dimension at the speed of light propagation. Therefore, time is directly expressed by the known Hobble's ratio of a distance and the speed of mutual moving away of its two terminals.
