If one exists now, one is a point, point-i, which is not even infinitesimally integral. However the normal (and natural) assumption in terms of that very point, is also that existence is integral, e.g., not now... which is not only point or motion like now, or anything else word, but action, actual, or actually beyond the point that it is. It is not noun. It is action-verb.

In terms of time, integral existence is the past and future, or before and after the point, now. Furthermore, the point is that the world is integral in terms of all kinds of things (points) other than time. So, the convention is necessary that a point is actually integral, namely it is not a point, but an infinitesimal.

Whether the world is deterministic or not, the basic logical assumption of integral existence beyond the point would be, even without consciousness, that past worldly actions determine one's actions absolutely. As for the future as determinant, the logical assumption is that 'there is' mind and consciousness, i.e., that things past and future in synthesis together, determine one's actions absolutely.
