You make an interesting point that I hadn't even considered. In my "current" mind, I have representations of past configurations stored as "memories" and representations of future configurations stored as "expectations". Both memory and prediction are incredibly imprecise so... if it weren't for us constantly updating our mental models of past configurations from external sources (observations of the effects of "past" causes), there wouldn't be all /that/ much difference experientially if: snap causality is now reversed, time now moves backwards, arrow of time *= -1, however you want to describe it.
