n the framework of Presentism, we introduce a novel interpretation of time as a quantum memory, evolving in atomic instants, and show its compatibility with relativistic time dilations. First, we clarify our postulates on time, causality, and information, and define our ontology in terms of entanglement in a spatial lattice encoded in the Present memory. Then, we introduce our observer as an elementary massive particle, and describe its wave function from the entanglement in the lattice and across the instants. Finally, we derive the proper time of such particle from the information of entanglement in its causal cone. We conclude suggesting a more comprehensive theory of Quantum Gravity and a relation between the concept of memory and the emergence of complexity.

Truthmaking is the metaphysical exploration of the idea that what is true depends upon what exists. Truthmaker theorists argue about what the truthmaking relation involves, which truths require truthmakers, and what those truthmakers are. This Element covers the dominant views on these core issues in truthmaking. It also explores some key metaphysical topics and debates that are usefully approached by employing the tools of truthmaker theory: the debate between presentists and eternalists over the existence of entities from the past, and the debate between actualists and possibilists over merely possible states of affairs. In the final section, the Element explores how to think about truthmakers for truths involving social constructions.
