Just brain dumping here but I have this thought that maybe the universe unfolds like a grammar. You start with a description of everything that can exist according to some laws of physics, if you do this recursively, like a grammar. You would have a root node (this would be the Big Bang) from there you generate every possible state. This would result in a tree where each node (present) is either the Big Bang or hangs of some other tree (the past) and has branches for each possible configuration (futures) to generate from that state.
