Yes ...

I wouldn't define it as that but I would argue that intelligence more developed than that of a stimulus / response agent, and consequently the mind, can be understood to include time as an extra dimension in an energy landscape ...

Woah now you've taken a step too far.

That's like saying, I see and hear a tree falling down in a forest but it won't happen if I am not there.

Besides, events are discrete whereas reality works at a more finely grained continuous scale (let's not start talking about quantum mechanics)
