See //www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYZQxMowBswWell you are wrong again. You do not understand the concepts of past and future light cones. The video discusses time dilation and not that the past, present and future all exist at once.

This certainly does not mean that past, present and future all exist at once.
Time is relative, and flexible and, according to Einstein, "the dividing line between past, present, and future is an illusion". So reality is ultimately TIMELESS.
Oh, and by the way, you are certainly not an eminent physicist. You are just wrong.

So reality is ultimately TIMELESS. By this logic, since there is no objective 'here' dividing all points in 'the east' from 'the west', reality must be LOCATIONLESS and Singapore and Ecuador are in the same place. (Apparently the caps are necessary, so I'm following form)
By a state machine I believe you mean a switch statement. These are not complicated.
I am not an eminent physicist. I do however understand embedded systems being a software engineer. Using objects in programming is pretty standard. I have been developing with them since the 1990s. This is very off topic. How does this in any way relate to the fundamental nature of time? If you need to retreat to your comfort zone then feel free.
It is not immediately obvious what you say. Why do you say it? With zero distance, most of physics theorem would seem to break down (as per the big bang singularity).
Einstein's theory of SpaceTime (I think) postulates that the past, present and future all exist at once. How this can occur is not part of the theory (I think).
So if we take the example of your 2 objects which are zero distance apart then they will progress through time at the same rate and their measurement of each other’s progress will be the same.

It is possible to simulate a universe using a hierarchical state machine.I am desperately trying to figure out how this response was in any way related to the post to which it replied, but it was crash and burn all the way.

Sure the objects will proceed according to Einsteins theory of relativity, but if they were able to measure the interactions WITH EACH OTHER they would find what ... we don't know. Could a photon be emitted and absorbed in 0 time?
Not sure he said anything about everything happening all at once, but see no reason why this could not occur. A photon observing the universe would likely see the result of everything happening at once (probably nothing, literally?).

Also Electromagnetic waves (which seem closely related to photons) have electro and magnetic wave components that travel faster than light, thus allowing for the possibility that they originate in the future.

It is interesting that most of the computer programs I have worked on, work without any reference to time.
