- Are SSFRs really SFRs associated with the edges of the space-time surface or does their sequence define a TGD finite counterpart of Feynman path integral so that no decoherence would occur?
- There are also questions related to the details of the periods consisting of SSFRs. The increase of the size of causal diamond (CD) by scalings occurring in SSFRs would allow us to understand how subjective a sequence of SSFRs corresponds to geometric time as distance between the tips of CD.
The alternative proposal is that CD shifts gradually to the direction of the active boundary of CD at which the states do not remain fixed in SSFRs. Which option is correct? Does the size of the CD increase indefinitely or does it reduce in BSFRs so that conscious entities would experience childhood after every BSFR? Is the breaking of T symmetry (and also CP symmetry) necessary for the gradual shift of CD to a fixed time direction?
- The feed of metabolic energy is necessary for consciousness. Sleep and wakeup can be identified as conscious states with opposite arrows of geometric time. Does the periodically varying feed of the metabolic energy from the Sun as light ,making also possible direct visual perceptions, give rise to a stochastic resonance in which the state of consciousness corresponds to flips between the potential wells of a bistable system.

Instead of 8-dimensional CD of abstract coordinate systems, think of normal cycloid with the tautochrone and brachistochrone least action properties and intrinsinc 2^3 * r arc length. The constant tautochrone factor 2^3 has natural logarithmic transformation into 2*3=6 degrees of freedom of 3D space.
By some weird amnesia Einstein managed to think about space-time curvature without any reference to Huygens.
Qualifying Huygens principle of wave propagation with holistic Stern-Brocot type metric and the associated Ford circles as the wavelets so that the whole dynamic becomes discretely computable, Ford circle filling becomes the Geometrodynamic analog of Pauli exclusion.
Rotation of Ford circles gives thus the inherent "quantum" metric for the radii of the 8*r arc length.
The Huygens propagation can be done also inwards (cf. from equator to pole of a sphere).
Wheeler's Mach-type circluar cosmic rotation without assumption of a priori mass can be further nested in cosmic cycloid curvature; and the AB-effect solenoid can be constructed geometrodynamically by couple rotations of the cycloid arc.
Attempts to unify gravity and time without the most firmly established cycloid least action geometrodynamics are bound to fail.
From the Aristotle's Wheel Problem and it's mechanical solution (elementary gauge theory of conical railroad wheels and railroad track) we get also opposite coriolis spins of Huygens-wavelets on both sides of equator.
I think this can answer your questions.

PS: p-adics are a distorted mirror of Stern-Brocot type metrics. Unlike SB-type binary trees, p-adics lack direct connection with the holistic origin. Coprimes are primitive to primes, the cosmos is social (relational process ontology) instead of solipsistic competition between primes and their adics.
P-adics have their use as heuristic ladder to climb up towards the math heaven, but after finding the SB-world there is no more need to hold on to the ladder.
