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.
If you agree that in the current instant nothing to the past exist then putting that past into memory does not solve the problem as then what you are saying is that memory, a set of events that are space like separated, are creating or is responsible for the "I" in that instant, which is impossible as nothing can connect simultaneous events
No, really, what are you trying to say? What is it you are trying so hard to figure out, what problem so desperately needs a solution? Everything is fine.
