According to folk metaphysics you are a complete little personage, a soul or animula, suffering and animating a body object whose operations are in objectively real time and space. If you rephrase all of this in functionalist terms it is a complex interactive structure in which certain distinguished substructures define space-like and subject-like perspectival relations among themselves and with the other parts. When you do this nothing changes except for the disappearance of certain accompanying concepts, epiphenomenal in the true sense, which posit an independent and fixed reality of a convenient model which affords some practical shortcuts at the cost of some rather drastic overheads. For example, the model makes much of the distinction between insides and outsides, subjects and objects, none of which are supported by the bare phenomena of experience. The functional rephrasing of space in these terms is fairly straightforward, but time is more challenging since it bears absolute irreversible difference. The same necessity has it that the experiencing cannot be experienced as that time cannot go backwards, and in this sense it can be said that the time is the only way in which the appearing appears.
