Vitomir Krajkowski: Over the limited span of ensuing centuries, the future for a man living during the Middle Ages is the past from the perspective of a contemporary one. Similarly, the latter also enjoys, in collective uniqueness with his synchronic fellows, an illusion that he is something new, a creature of special coordinates, rather than than something old from the perspective of his descendants.

The past is a settled existence, serving as a mirror that reflects the nature of a similarly fixed territory that differs only by receiving a different category of tense: the future.

Even the temporal solipsist who believes that only his now exists must admit that the lonely, fugacious island he takes to be dwelling in conforms to the idea of a set past, where an assassinated Caesar did not live to a ripe old age beyond 55. No less his present would be governed by the contents and balance of the complementary idea that he likewise assesses as an unreal phantom: the future.

[...] Present events that we in theory might classify as not adhering to principle or pattern will not lose that ascription of randomness in the settled past. Likewise, an existing, fixed future would not be antithetic to states that resist being calculable. --The Lost Letters of Lennard Prantl

― Kurt Vonnegut
