Hi Stephen:
I took a look at Julian Barbour's "time capsules" and his Nows may be like my kernels but in my (2) the sequence of kernels is inconsistent with its past due to the "=>>" dynamic as I have indicated.
A sequence of kernels may for a number of steps look like one could derive something fundamental for the sequence but this itself is an illusion. The inconsistent dynamic is the fundamental and contains no fundamental rules in its inconsistency let alone any that could be deduced from within the sequence.
