I think I can somewhat grasp what is being explained but maybe not really.
As a thought experiment, if you had a screen of fixed resolution that displayed random color pixels, given an infinite amount of time, you could watch an entire specific movie (along with every other image), perhaps in random order, but from the movie's perspective if it were conscious it would not be aware of whatever order it's playing in, it would just perceive itself to be going forward I guess. The movie itself is like a function that displays an image as a function of time.
So I guess they're saying consciousness in Dust Theory could be like that? What we perceive as a conscious moment is a brief output of random noise for a random timestamp?
