As pointed out by the op, "events" implies time. (1. Change implies time). So interpreting QM from the perspective of "events" does not remove time from the interpretation. — Metaphysician Undercover
There is change and then the measurement of change, which is time. How long did it take for the apple to turn from green to red? Seven spins of the Earth on it's axis. Time is using change to measure change. — Harry Hindu
This interpretation simply fails in its analytical extent, because it does not separate an activity (which is a description of what things do) from the thing which is engaged in the proposed activity. A proper analysis recognizes that an event cannot be fundamental because of this conflation of the description with the thing being described. The description (activity), is a product of human understanding and cannot be fundamental. That's why I said we need a proper separation between the features of space and time, regardless of what general relativity gives us. — Metaphysician Undercover
I never said it was. I did say that time is a measurement which means that believing that time exists independently of your mind would be an illusion. Change is more fundamental than time. Time is a type of change.So it isn’t 1) that change implies time, but 2) that time implies change. But, as Rovelli points out, this doesn’t mean time is an illusion. — Possibility

So, what exactly is the relationship between the two, change and time?
Possibilities:
1. Change implies time
2. Time implies change — TheMadFool
Is time an illusion? — TheMadFool
Thanks goes to all who've contributed to the thread. I'm out of my depths at the moment. Will get back if I think of anything interesting. — TheMadFool
