Abstract
Much thought concerning the nature of our universe with respect to the past, present and future, treats time as mathematically reversible in direction or as simultaneously and forever existent in a pure block universe, with intact pasts and futures that can be visited under appropriate conditions. It is proposed that our universe is a finite and constantly changing diaphanous boundary universe (DBU) of the present, engaging a larger non-real world of infinite potential from which this boundary is fueled. The diaphanous boundary universe of the present is the gatekeeper of reality, which evidences reality from within an infinite range of outcomes or possibilities in the greater world. All events have an occurrence of one and are therefore non-existent once they occur, except that all event information is retained in the present which informs the boundary regarding what future possibilities may occur. There are no fixed physical laws in the universe because the boundary is changing, altering its own nature and how it selects from future possibilities, creating the next now with new realities drawn from the infinite potential of the greater world. Time is absent from the structure of the universe except as an essential artifact within consciousness, which allows life to engage time with space in order to experience the interconnections and causal relationships of past, present and future.
