"ΔA causes B" implies that time (history) exists...
(A, B are supposed real - not abstract)
"x>0 and y>x => y>0" does not imply that time exists
but
"Δv (change of speed) causes something" implies it
(Δv supposes at least two different time layers/sediments of reality)

B has to be distingishable from A. Its the distingishable difference that time is an aspect of. If A is certain as in absolute B must be uncertain to distinguish it from A. But the uncertainty is a tempory. B will go back to its A state when its uncertain time state resolves its uncertainty. So A is certain A B is uncertain.
