Notes / open questions
Tier: candidate primary axis. Likely the most fundamental Bucket primitive.
Open question: is "time" reducible to entropy gradient (information bridge)
or is it a primitive in its own right? Wheeler suggests it from bit; Penrose
suggests time is an emergent feature of cycle-resetting (Conformal Cyclic Cosmology).
