Are you a neural networks training data scientist? Are you a programmer writing an object-oriented code? Are you a hardware design engineer? Study general relativity, and start thinking about time as a spatial dimension in your code and circuits.

Why? State disappears. Boolean algebra is Turing-complete in 4D spacetime.

(I need to add that I oppose pure functional programming, because for any given number of inputs, in a _physical device realization_, there's much more volume inside. Simply said, FP doesn't scale because surface area grows much slower than volume of a computer.)
