There is no cause and no effect, as far as I understand it. “You” spend most of the time in bizarre states and only once in a 10^^^^^^(…)^^^^^10 seconds chances can reconstruct the next, previous or just different step of a reasonable continuous experience, including all memories “you” “think” about in this moment.

But in my opinion this is overengineered. States not only don’t have to come in order, they don’t have to form a continuous “movie” at all. An infinite amount of “current” moments with all the past and current reality already embedded in is sufficient.
