present moment(s) would be when memory (past) is used to experience the present moment (perception) including any actions, and save it to (update) memory.

That seems close to the philosophy of Solipsism where the universe exists only because we perceive it. I'm more of the mind that the universe exists regardless of whether we are in it.

Steven Hawking also made big news when be supposed that a black hole would eventually evaporate. The idea is that quantum effects would occasionally cause a particle-pair to form from space right at the event horizon. One part of the pair (A) could be sucked in and the other part (B) move away from the event horizon. This would be equivalent to the particle B radiating from the black hole itself.

Using time as an analogy to space. I imagine the uncertain future to be analogous to one dimension of space and it's particles. (who knows? maybe there are three dimensions of time too, but that's more than I can imagine right now). The farther into the future you go, the larger the magnitude of uncertainty. That uncertainty gets smaller and smaller the closer the future comes to the present. (I imagine the uncertainty itself as if it were a particle in the space of the future).

There are quantum effects in time. Uncertainty can grow or shrink based on chaotic interactions. But... at the instant that the future becomes the now, there is no longer any uncertainty. Whatever happens now is something that really happens. There is no longer any chaos in the system. Basically, quantum theory no longer applies at the singularity.

So, if the time and space analogy holds true then there is no radiation from a black hole since the particles and quantum potential particles all cease to exist at the singularity.
