# Putting Natural Time into Science

## TL;DR

This paper critiques the traditional scientific concept of time, proposing a computational framework that better captures the true nature of time to improve modeling of reality and the emergence of novelty.

## Contribution

It introduces a novel computational approach to incorporate the real nature of time into scientific models, addressing limitations of current frameworks.

## Key findings

- Highlights limitations of current time models in science
- Proposes a computational framework for a more authentic representation of time
- Suggests this approach can better explain emergence and creativity in the universe

## Abstract

This contribution argues that the notion of time used in the scientific modeling of reality deprives time of its real nature. Difficulties from logic paradoxes to mathematical incompleteness and numerical uncertainty ensue. How can the emergence of novelty in the Universe be explained? How can the creativity of the evolutionary process leading to ever more complex forms of life be captured in our models of reality? These questions are deeply related to our understanding of time. We argue here for a computational framework of modeling that seems to us the only currently known type of modeling available in Science able to capture aspects of the nature of time required to better model and understand real phenomena.
