No problem ... progressing from one state to another is pretty much what Loop Quantum Gravity does.
We already have a whole bunch of 'emergent' properties (heat ... and possibly gravity), so having time as 'emergent' isn't SUCH a big deal.
Spin may also be emergent as a result of interactions of electrons with a lattice in space-time.
