What if the fundamental nature of reality is a timeless ocean where every possible bundle of qualia - first person sensory experiences - exists within it? Time doesn’t actually exist, but the illusion of it could, as bundles could have false memories and expectations.
Isn’t that an oxymoron? If every possible first-person sensory experience exists, then time exists (we experience time).
The experience of time would exist, but each individual moment would in reality be timeless - just with a false experience of time for some of them.
