But then every point in space has it's own clock, so you'd have gazzilions of tiny clocks instead of one big global clock that tickets for the entire universe/reality. Or perhaphs if we do have one big global clock, your distance from it warps/distorts other parts of the reality at each point in space? Maybe there is a limit to how far this heartbeat travels (edge of the universe)? You can also then ask, at what speed or clock cycle is reality "rendering" and is it the same speed everywhere? It would seem each point renders itself and there would be no big global processor doing the rendering. Then finally if you really want to dig deep, ask why is it being rendered to begin with. Might need some psychedelics for this one instead of math. What if there are no clocks nor any points, what if matter is just a condensate of frequencies/sound/harmonics - that is, there is a "great piano player" and the "sound" it emits is the universe, just a side effect. If it stops playing, the universe disappears/collapses into nothingness. note: A point here referring to a point in a massive 3d grid of points.
