The Codex Process: External Time & Closed Continuity

This paper develops an outward account of time within the Codex Process by examining continuity at the cosmological scale under conditions of closure. It argues that when no external frame, sink, or higher-order revision is available, time cannot function as a neutral container and instead appears as irreversible ordering across a closed continuity. On this basis, causality is reframed as an ordering requirement, boundaries as limits of participation rather than edges of substance, and entropy as a descriptive measure within an already ordered system rather than the source of time’s arrow.
