In the UD model of the world, time as we perceive it, is

in Platonia. So the steps of the UD have no duration, they are
logically prior to time and duration. On the other hand, I think
so called "observer moments" must have duration in the emergent
sense and must overlap. But their relation to the UD threads is
more aspirational than proven.
I think it should be possible to pause and restart at any point
a process underpinning consciousness and leave the stream of
consciousness unchanged; otherwise there would be a radical decoupling
of the mental from the physical. At the limit, this means the process
underpinning consciousness can be cut up into infinitesimals.
Infinitesimals, I think not, at least not in Bruno's model. Each thread
of the UD's computation can be cut and restarted, but underlying an
"observer moment" or a "thought" are infinitely many threads and there
is no reference by which you can define cutting them all at "the same
time". So they make the "time" of consciousness essentially real valued.
