so i'm sure somebody has written about this

i'm fuzzy on whether antiparticles really behave like normal particles
with reversed time to such a degree that you could make physical
systems like ours that behave backward if you could stabilize the
impossibly large and precise amounts of antimatter needed

but for example if you believe in a deterministic mind, which
certainly helps the work of neuroscientists to believe in (lots of
research in the mind being caused by precise neuron firings) then if
one was made out of antimatter it would have a [very brief] experience
of consciousness traveling from the future (when its creators let it
be destroyed, ie its consciousness's earliest memories) to the past
(when its creators create it, ie its consciousness's last memories,
thoughts, and perceptions, which it never stores).

now the physical precision of that isn't reasonable because of the
reversed causality and entropy, and that's something that would
involve further exploration to consider. you'd simplify the system to
something much simpler, like a single component that can store state.
what you might find is that every component of the system and its
environment needs to be precisely, thoroughly, and beyond extensively
correct, for the system to actually operate backwards, forming the
correct information in the past from the information in the future --
and that that is because of the block universe model that that
happens.

so to make the situation interesting we look for gaps in that
reasonably possible situation -- ways that it could be more operable.
one of these ways is to consider the state of the universe simulatable
with AI in fine detail. another way is to consider sending "probes" of
some sort in order to refine a description of what is going on, both
to essentially predict the future before running it. another way is to
imagine that things that are not precisely accurate still hold the
information that was intended, just "encrypted" of sorts into what
actually happened -- this is similar to the idea of reincarnation and
might let one imagine their consciousness at disparate locations
similar to quantum tunneling. another "gap" could be quantum
uncertainty and the multiple universe interpretation.

in the multiple universe interpretation of the double slit experiment
we could imagine that consciousness made of antimatter going backward
in time, but engaging situations of quantum uncertainty like
schrodinger's cat, and ending up in a different universe where it
keeps living before the destruction caused by its own creation.
