An affect occurring now, has an affect on the future. But with SR, we are adding energy to the affect, so it is not the same affect we started with, but affect plus energy. The energy is used to preserve the time potential within the affect.
Where the confusion might be, is within the concept of relative reference and SR. References are not necessarily relative. The reason this is so; SR has three equations, one each for T, D, and M. Relative reference only works is we use two out of three. Relative reference violates the conservation of energy if we use all three and include relativistic mass.
Here is a simple mind experiment to prove this. We start with three equal references at stationary reference. We add energy to only one, to give it relativistic velocity such that the mass appears to double. The other two stationary references we spread apart so they will appear separate yet remain stationary. If we use relative reference, the moving reference will see both distinct stationary references the same, both appearing to double their mass for a total of 4M, using only enough energy for 2M. That is perpetual motion and violate energy conservation. Even if we saw or calculated this, we know it can not real, due to energy conservation. Only the two stationary references will see the calculated mass-energy add up.
By adding energy to the experiments, we place it in a reference where the flow of time slows based on the relativistic mass-energy; time dilation. We place time in a bottle. We can get it back, if we shift reference back to stationary. We need to shed energy. If you use only space and time, it looks relative so there is no feel for energy conservation.
The SR and time in a bottle implies time potential acts like a thing. The forces of nature are each designed to process time potential in their own ways. The sum is the flow of time. This takes into consideration any force summation such as GR. But sometimes the time potential gets out of whack for a particular processing step. It is still conserved. It just goes down the wrong pipe creating too much or too little elsewhere.

Very good post
I don't know how (or if ) you've followed the reason I propose this way of spreading energy/time occurrences. If not you may have some fun looking them up.
By adding energy to make the behavior work , I think violates conservation anyway. One thing that has been neglected is capping the available time/energy limitations. The reason I think it needs to be done is for a couple of other peculiarities that are sidestepped by the usual time/energy way of thinking.
Infinity is certainly one of these. Where no limit is placed on time/space there lurks infinity. not only in time, but in energy potential as well. this defies thermodynamics and conservation, making both sciences incorrect. A finite view has a narrower allowance for mistakes and simply states that a beginning and an end are likely. Once that is said , the natural logic is towards a singular quantity of energy which is all that exists at any "snapshot".
This does not mean that we would measure 'the universe ' as we see it in a photo. more likely the 'snapshot would be the smallest measure of energy that can occur. because time/motion/space/mass are an illusion which is created by the measuring of the occurrences(in order), when we remove any of the measuring factors, the universe always adds up to one.
the reason I am happy to keep stating this is that I have been talking this through for a while and there hasn't been a well reasoned opposition to it so far. There have been differing points of view , but none of the 'convincing argument ' that I have encountered on the way to this way of thinking.
One side road that has been most encouraging is that of infinity. In most cases there is only circumstantial evidence that it may or may not exist. But this has been largely supported as "mathematical infinity". I am convinced that infinity is proven false because we can measure it's parts...and that is all the proof you need to say that this reality and any other starts and ends. No extra ,separated infinities,they would suck us into an unmeasurable 'evenness', that would be unable to support variation of any sort.

just to refine my point of view. It is very dependent on "what time" you are trying to measure.
If you are using the entire universe as a snapshot, Each pixel within the 'photo' has an order of reference which is unique to it. But this order is dependent on balance. The balance is dependent on "all time" , not just your snapshot.
Why?
Because your 'snapshot' contains images from differing 'times' . The distance across the universe may be the order of occurrence, but doesn't relate well chronologically. In order for a distant 'pixel' to enter your photo, it must travel 'through time' to be equal to local time.

Actually,
I can't see why Armit is shouting or asking me anything at all. I read his signature and don't disagree with it.?

Nothing cryptic about finding something funny.
