This is very difficult to get across, so please be patient with my wording.
Just for a moment, try to picture Time as a composite trend in particle outcomes, like a casino has the odds stacked slightly in it's favour; it gradually wins-over, and space as a type of latency or impedance in dynamical change...so that a weak and tardy force gives the impression of being distant, whereas a strong and immediate force gives the impression of being close. Yes, this means we let go of time dilation, Lorentz contraction...the whole idea of a field actually!
But wait...
With that in mind, imagine if spatial and temporal separation (distance and time) are features/properties within matter itself...ie. internal properties of matter, not external features of a field?
O-oh...
This presents distance and time in a new way, a type of dynamic viscosity in a particle's interaction with other particles...with all particles actually being superimposed upon one-another...which would also imply a single particle universe.
It's a wild statement I know, but is there anything really stopping it from being this way?
I can see this has the potential to be heated.
