So when there is an arrow of time, it makes good sense, ordinarily, to say nothing of cardinality, to speak of before. But if the ultimate structure, as I believe, has multiple dimensions of time, you will find that the crotch of saying initial conditions has to be replaced by something like boundary conditions.
