If the universe is comprised of an array of data tables which in specific patterns form moments of time, then you can arrange them along some indexed axis of time.
Assuming that each n index can only connect to exactly one n-1 and exactly one n+1 index on a linear axis, and that there are no other adjacent axes, you can construct a past, present, and future.
But this creates a predetermined path of time, which invalidates free will, but doesn't mean it's wrong.
It just means that time travel is futile.
