If the universe operates under a binary principle, arbitrarily 0 and 1, based on the atomic spin of left and right, then interactions would not follow conventional mathematical principles. Instead, it would follow rules of binary arithmetic and algebra (e.g. 1+1=1, x+1 = x). In circuit design, 1s and os compounded with the usage of various gates allows the creation of greater functions, which can be used to create all the electronics we are familiar with. Atoms are essentially on/off states, and the empty clouds in which the electrons move are like logic gates. What atoms can potentially create, however, are beyond our comprehension.

It seems that spatial dimensions and time as we know it, could not exist without gravity, and the electro-strong/weak force. Water cannot flow, being pulled down a stream, or the molecular cohesion between tiny individual indivisible parts of water. Waterfalls could not exist without gravity. We all know that gravity warps time, so that the passage of time becomes a subjective experience. Watching the river flow, or an expensive timepiece move, is also a subjective experience, only meaningful to the onlooker.
To speak of time entails a subjective end. There is no objective, end of all things, but only a subjective perception that the end of a phase has come. If fate entails creation, since we are the creators of our own fate, then a universe without fate would occlude the possibility of any meaningful creation. Thus to quantitatively define the end in context of the beginning becomes a challenge that can be solved. Is the end, which we perceive to be caused by events and factors from between and all the way from the beginning, a byproduct of causality? Or is it more deeply rooted in the laws of physics, requiring a million formulas of unimaginable length and difficulty to be calculated at once? For the universe, this is a natural and spontaneous task.
