As has been previously mentioned, non-linear time theory skirts very close to multi-dimensional time theory.
The fact is that non-linear time theory expresses itself in different time dimensions which give rise to different "forces" of time.
Those forces are dimension, energy, the so-called 'energy forces' (electromagnetisim, strong and weak forces), gravity, and matter/clock time.
The conservation of time as reflected in the conservation of mass and energy dictates that space (and any dimensional resident of space) must arise from some coordinate change in time and space can most easily be identified in terms of coordinates. Since space and time are necessarily conserved, proportional one to the other, this means that time coordinates being grouped according to the creation of various aspects of "space/time" have multiple dimensional time characteristics which were apparent even before the comparisons to multi-dimensional time theories.
Fundamentally, however, non-linear time theory requires mathematics which deny dimensions. The problem with existing multi-dimensional time is that it remains "dimensional". The difference is subtle and one of position. Multi-dimensional time, for example, presumes space and forces of space with or without time. Non-linear time theory recognizes that the fundamental building block of space/time is non-dimensional time. Multi-dimensional time theory sees a steady state universe as being possible, Non-linear Time theory sees a universe which exists without dimensional qualities. It exists because it has always existed. The perceived change in the universe is much like a light shined on different parts of a stage, or like the different frames of film (so much so that one reflects favorable as a representation of the other). In a film, however, you use light to move between frames and mechanics to move the film before the light. NLT is more like a digital movie, the coordinates of each successive frame are located, the other aspects of space/time are then expressed. Hence you have some locators in NLT, it is "put together" in some fashion that allows expression of linearity, and then you have other coordinates associated with each of these locators conserved relative to each other that allow the expression of everything else in space.
This is, because of the absence of "real space" fairly easy to express:
A1=A(T1 (tx, ty,tz); T1',T1",etc); A2=A(T2 (tx,ty,tz),T2',T2",etc) where there is conservation (proportionately associated) between T,T',T" and subsequent proportionality of time.
LikewiseT1 is shown with coordinates of space (noting that in theory NLT recognizes Times preceding the big bang where tx is linear, but ty and tz are not and then where tx,ty are linear before tz becomes linear. T1' and T" are not shown with x,y,z coordinates; but they do have multiple coordinates which are reflected in the "forces" which make them up. These forces are expressed sequentially see prior entries showing the potential for 1) space and gravity, 2) energy and nuclear forces, 3) matter and clock time, for example, but not necessarily in that order).
The expression of linearity in terms of sequences tied to both spatial and clock coordinates (at least outside of black holes and other non-linear places) gives rise to space time as we perceive it; but should not be confused with space time as a fundamental framework for purposes of a mathematical analysis which is seductive, but inconsistent with close analysis of the universe.
Linearity as we perceive it is not required by NLT but is required by the rules of the perceived universe. Just as a film may be "cut up" and displayed in slide formats in any order; or as different places in digital media may be expressed in random order; so our universe can be displayed in a non-sequential fashion.
Something happens with time that allows the expression of linearity that we experience, but this "order" is not a "requirement" any more than the digitized sequential film is required to be expressed sequentially. The key then to NLT is that while we "experience" space-time (the sequential expression of Non-linear Time); space time coordinates need not be sequential. While this conjures ideas of time travel, it actually indicates just the opposite. While the possibility of "viewing" different places in time and space without regard to separation (for example you can theoretically see the big bang as it happens from within the coordinates in NLT which would be a goal of NLT in terms of practical application) but you cannot change it any more than you could change a single frame of a film just by virtue of being able to view it as a slide. This analysis means that even what we perceive as self awareness or self determination is nothing more than an illusion of the expression of NLT in a linear format.
There is a more intriguing concept. There is no-absolute condition in this regard. If you look at the slides as "digital" in nature, it is possible that there is some way in which you could go into the programming and change the code. This means even if there is no "true" self awareness or self determination that forces exist outside of linear time that would permit the coordinates of the universe to be altered. To the extent you want to jump into the pews of "old time religion" something (or god) had the ability to assemble the universe in a non-linear format from the standpoint of non-linearity (of either dimension or space), the so-called dimensionless void of pre-space time. This isn't the void of space, this is the void of non-dimension, non-linear time where everything happens at once.
If we "crack the code" of Non-linear time, if we hack the universe, then we not only have the ability to change our coordinates moving at will between coordinates in time and space, but we could change outcomes. While this is seductive, it would give us true self determination which is contraindicated even though we recoil against being slaves to non-linearity where "everything happens at once".
NLT theory must be reconciled with multi-dimensional time, quantum and relativistic theories to have relevance and hence does not stand totally apart from those theories. Just because space-time is an illusion of non-linear time doesn't change the fact that NLT is an illusion of space time from a relativistic framework.
The key to all of these theories is one of perspective but the story of the blind men and the elephant show the importance of looking at the universe through every perspective and not just those which make us (or the physics cabal if you will pardon a pun being inserted into a serious conversation) comfortable.
