If you accept the axioms given, then everything that exist from the accepted classical science point of view exist from instant to instant. What happened a 100th of a second ago does not exist any more. Neither does something that is going to happen in a 100th of a second to the future. Yet if you take U to span time because music is across time then the "I" that is observing it is able traverse time as well as space, that is observe a 4Dimensional segment of space and time. "I" will be able to accomplish this only if it is outside the 4 Dimensions of space and time in a 5th dimension

Or the brain is able to maintain state, have memory of the recent past, and operate on the combined data from the separate moments. This solves the problem without introducing an unevidenced component. Occam's razor leans in favor of the memory hypothesis. That I can remember and form an impression across time is not magic. No fifth dimension is required. But we've been here before, in your other thread.
