A discrete and finite approach to past physical reality

Abstract

This paper is a synthesis of previously published material on the topic. We show that an adequate mathematical model for the physical (i.e., perceptible and therefore past) reality must be finite. A finite approach to past proper time is given. Proper time turns out to be proportional to the sum of the return probabilities of a Bernoulli random walk.
