Re: this very moment

There needs to be psychological time in which to unravel the history
embedded in a single observer moment. Once one has psychological time,
one may as well go the whole hog and have a complete history, with an
infinite number of observer moments.

Its an Occam thing. Nothing rules out a "Groundhog Day" type of
effect, where we endlessly keep playing back a small piece of history
(eg 1 day, or even 10 seconds if you like), however I suspect this is
a more complicated explanation (therefore of smaller measure) than
just assuming that we live our whole lives.
