This project aims to explore the connection between theories of time and timelessness in metaphysics and physics, and our lived experience as agents. The story of our lives is one that unfolds through time; ever changing and updating as we add to the store of memories through which we understand our past selves, and our store of intentions, through which we shape our future selves. Yet there is disagreement about the nature of time: about what time is and whether, in fact, it really exists at all. The project will look to determine what structure the temporal dimension must have if it is to support agents like us, and whether, if there is no temporal dimension, as some physicists suggest, we can make any sense of our lived experience.

这个项目旨在探索形而上学和物理学中的时间和永恒理论之间的联系，以及我们作为代理人的生活经验。我们生活的故事是一个随着时间的推移而展开的故事；随着我们添加到记忆的储存库中，不断变化和更新，我们通过这些储存库了解我们过去的自我，以及我们塑造我们未来的自我的意向。然而，人们对时间的性质存在分歧：关于时间是什么，以及它是否真的存在。该项目将着眼于确定时间维度必须具有什么样的结构，才能支持像我们这样的代理人，以及如果没有时间维度，就像一些物理学家所说的那样，我们是否能够理解我们的生活经验。
