"A major way humans learn is through "Action and Effect" relationships. To simulate this on a computer we have a key-press as an "action", and the "effect" is the appearance of an image. Actions and Effects have logical progressions through time, that is, effects proceed or seem simultaneous with the actions that cause them. Unless we have a "Temporal Order Judgement Reversal", which I (James Holmes), just call "The Illusion" (audience laughter). In "The Illusion", the action seems to proceed the effect that it causes, so subjectively, you're causing events to happen in the past. To implement "The Illusion, we insert a series of gradual delays between the actions and effects. So, we have a key-press, and then a 10-millisecond delay, and then an image appearing. Then a key-press and a 20-millisecond delay, and then an image appears. Then we keep doing this over and over again, up to 200-milliseconds. We do this gradual delay incrementations to adapt the person to modify the perception of time. And then after we modify the perception of time, we completely remove the delay, and this causes "The Illusion". Potential applications for this "The Illusion" are in reducing car accidents, but it might be possible to increase the reaction times of drivers."

This speech by Mr. Holmes put analogy in my mind. The 4G technologies out right now are almost instantaneous, yet 5G will supposedly be faster. The analogy is this: If you have a Digital Optic Fiber 5G internet connection on your network, and all of a sudden every day, the connection seems to be slower than usual, you would call the internet provider and ask if there's any type of issue or malfunctioning. Your connection has been reduced from 5G to 4G, yet the providers deny any malfunctioning and insist you are still receiving 5G connection speeds. Then the connection get's even slower, 3G speeds, yet the providers still insist you're on 5G connection speeds. Yet again, your speeds are reduced again to 2G, then ultimately, after months of slow connection speed decline, you're using dial-up networking speeds on your network, yet still, the providers insist you're still on 5G Optic Fiber Premium connection speeds. Naturally, you would feel something was amiss, yet with no way to know for sure, or get confirmation, you would adapt to the new speeds and simply assume the entire world network is lagging. Regardless of whether the providers are lying and in on some type of conspiracy to secretly reduce your connection speeds or if they, as well, haven't any idea about the connections loss of speed, if all of a sudden, over-night, your connection speeds jumped back up to 5G all the way from Dial-Up, your perceptions would be heightened. You're typing speeds cumbersome at first, but ultimately also heightened dramatically. in short, Your response times would be altered in your favor. If you couple this analogy with sources stating that the military gets the newest technology well before the general public, and that cell phone companies hold out on releasing newer model phones until the older models have extinguished their technological values... It would seem, at some level, TOJR (Temporal Order Judgement Reversal; "The Illusion") may already be integrated into our everyday lives and perceptions.

In the movie "The Tomorrow War" with Chris Pratt, there is a war taking place in the future, and Soldiers from the future are sent back in time to recruit people and save the future of humanity, by eliminating the threat (a species of ravenous "pets" to a race of Nosferatu looking vampire aliens, from a, thawed out, downed, spacecraft that was frozen in time). In a particular scene, in the beginning, the recruits are being trained by the future soldiers, Norah (played by Mary Lynn Rajskub), asks the future soldiers: "Why can't we just keep jumping back to earlier in the war"? A future soldier, Lt. Ikemba (played by Chibuikem Uche) replies: "The Jumplink doesn't work that way [...] [The Jumplink] is the Temporal Displacement Device that makes all your armbands work." Lt. Tran (played by Alan Trong) goes on: "Time only flows in one direction. It's like a river. The Jumplink placed two rafts on [a] river, thirty years apart. We can jump back and forth between them, but both rafts must always keep moving forward [...] We can jump you to 2051. We can jump you back. [Thats it]"
