If each quantum of irreversible memory adds a tick of time, and if the accumulation of knowledge has been accelerating since the emergence of replicative and then explanatory knowledge, then the rate at which the universe produces time should also be accelerating.

That means that an observer on the outside (if such an observer could exist) would see the universe producing more ticks per… well, per what?

There is no external clock.

But the internal effect would be precisely what we observe: an accelerating expansion of the spacetime manifold.
