Even with the B-theory you still have the causal links though so I am not sure what you are solving here. They might all happen at the same time but in relation to each other there's still an infinite chain from each observer window in >>17754564 which must still be traversed to get to the next part in limited time.

Who said that it has to? The whole point is that without an eternal immaterial will there's nothing that stops this perfectly capable Zoz from launching the causal chain from any point. You have to find a non mechanistic explanation why it happened then as opposed to now. It must have had all the energy and internal states required from eternity past. So what triggered it? Remember whatever else you are going to bring must not be susceptible to causality. So you can't say for example it was just programmed that way because then there must be a reason why the timer was programmed in such a manner and where is it stored, how is it executed, etc. It's like saying the uncaused cause needs a cause within itself. A mind acting on pure will sidesteps this because it just depends on itself and there's no parts to it (since it's immaterial). Intelligence is not required as far as I can see though except maybe if we bring into it why things are this way as opposed to another which is irrelevant here
>Yeah that's all I'm arguing
I don't disagree with you, but the set of properties you restricted yourself to is insufficient that's what I am saying.
