I believe that according to some or most participants in this list,
transitions between observer moments is representing "Time." I have also
been talking about observer moments in the past but I have always
skirted around the issue of defining them.

The concept of observer moment is not clear. For example, you could
compare each observer moment to the node of a graph and the transitions
from one observer moment to the links of the graph. However, it is well
known that a graph can be transformed by changing each node into a
polygon. Each link then becomes a node. In this new format, you could
view "Time" as being represented by the nodes. We are left with two
representations of consciousness: the first is a feeling of becoming
(the first representation in which the links represent time) and the
second is a feeling of being (the second representation in which the
nodes represent time).

Ultimately observer-moments are the stuff that makes up the plenitude.
They are more fundamental than any physical object and more basic than
time and space. If we are to assume some fundamental entity, I think
that observer-moments qualify.
