State of mind that describes the experience of 11:28 AM exists in my mind at 11:28 AM, that’s what the brain does, it prepares this state of mind using its structure, preceding states of mind, and observations. At 11:30 AM, the state of mind is different, and describes the updated experience of 11:30 AM.
A device that instantiates my state of mind of 11:28 AM at 10:28 AM would result in a me that experiences 11:28 AM at 10:28 AM. With this device, there are two mes of 11:28 AM that exist at different times, both at 10:28 AM and at 11:28 AM. If I’m aware of the device, the me of 11:28 AM knows that now is both 10:28 AM and 11:28 AM. It’s a foothold for controlling the past.
