However, in determinism, I don't think time and the experience of it are necessarily the same thing: i.e. a one-directional arrow, with origin at one point of the line, and the end at the other.I guess I'm not sure what basis you could have for demonstrating this.
It seems to me trivially obvious that subjective experience of time varies widely from person to person. To a bored small child, an hour is an eternity. To an adult having tons of fun, it zips by like nothing.
Whether or not time can be accurately modeled as a ray |--------------> rather than as a line <---------------> is another issue entirely. causality certainly seems linked to time, but then there's all that pesky shit going on in particle physics which appears to blur the line between cause and effect.
