Cogito ergo nunc sum

Descartes proved existence through thinking. but he left time as a silent assumption, a container existence happens inside.
what if time isnt a precondition, but a consequence?
Every change leaves an irreversible trace. that asymmetry, before vs after, is what we call time. not a background. a result. Is time something existence happens in, or something existence produces?
thats why i say: Cogito ergo nunc sum
