The problems of the nature of time, of causality and of consciousness all seem to be the same problem, or at least that resist mathematisation in the same way. Any models of these will involve some kind of basic directionality, an arrow, a directed graph or category, or else coming at it from the other side an alternation (or several) of quantifiers: for all, there exists... Perhaps the one way out of the limitation of any mathematical model is via an implicit appeal to the totality, to the all, of the 'for all', or to the most general setting of the constituent events. It might even be in the form of the optimisation of an integral or functional over the entire ensemble; for all, there exists, such that for all there exists... and so on. This suggests a striving for complete self-reference which is mathematically impossible except as an aggregate of partial or failed self-references. Consciousness, with its roots in content, in the finest grade of object or of prakriti-matter, is merely the ultimate form of failed or partial self-reference, which idea is only the way in which the Subject-purusha is misunderstood - not such concept or consciousness being any part of it. The only non-duality that counts is that of the collapse or withdrawal or otherwise disappearance of this ultimate dualism.
