The issue is in the math itself. Cause/effect is built-in. Start
   here. End there. There's ways WITHIN to mitigate somewhat, but
   the issue is systemic.

   Time won't likely be conquered until causation assumptions
   within mathematical cascades are allowed to be mitigated.

   Won't be easy: the overwhelming success of mathematics as a tool
   for physics discovery (and theoretical physics is dependent upon
   it nearly entirely now) means it's not likely other options will
   have much sway.

   Systems thinking comes closer, although not perfect either.
   Platonism is hard to remove. In short, there's a "doctor, heal
   thyself" problem in mathematics; the assumption of ideal
   realities separate from our own that are somehow capable of
   describing perfectly ... this.

   But what room is there for the day theoretical physicist had his
   coffee secretly switched to decaf and the latest political news
   got him really angry that morning, and it effected his primary
   hypothesis that led into a perfectly constructed something that
   works perfectly within its own realm, but neglects psychological
   state of the physicist in its generation in the first place?
