I've been noodling on this stuff a lot of late. I can't get that cosmiccommode.com out of my mind! But recently, I had a thought: What if, like gravity, time is a curvature of space-time and is not a pure variable, but a curvature of the variables of space-time? This would explain a lot in terms of the "arrow of time".

So here we are tumbling into a time-hole sucking us into the future on the macroscale, but with locality-based deviations. A very interesting model, don't you think?

Some of the interesting things that result from this is the reintroduction of a Cosmological Constant. Astromical data from the Hubble have caused some really big problems in terms of our sizing parameters. Enough where the CC is possibly being reintroduced. Up 'til now we may have been expressing out gas mileage in revolutions per gallon. What if the tire is not the same size through time? What if the speed of light has not always been consistent, but only the ratio of the units has been constant. This produces some interesting spinoffs.
