A-Theory (actualization) is local, indexical, actualization. A moving index of actualization where possibility become history. metabolic, sentient, social, anticipatory, participatory practice are all grounded in A-theory. Indexicality of now as a "brute fact"
B-Theory (block) time seen as an ENTIRETY , a continuum, where the present is not unique. There is a Swedenborgian, Lord's Leap aspect to this idea. The view from everywhere or the view from nowhere. But still indexed by now, before, and after. Still grounded in the arrow of time, but with a moveable index. Conceptual view from everywhere or nowhere of directional index that progresses through the ENTIRETY in a direction "arrow of time"
C-Theory removes the arrow of time, directionality from the picture. Events can be indexed as between, farther apart, but there is no fundamental directionality. (JWK: this is an artificate of the mathematics)
