I can't find the translation, so I will just wing it
Think of time as a quantity. Human Order exist upon a time axis that has a specific direction, that is, the accumulation of time. But that isn't an universal truth. To the rest of the world, outside of Human Order, time doesn't necessarily even recognize past, present and future, only recognize ''Time'' as a factor, more precisely, the thing that makes up the Imaginary Space. This is Universe of Record. Shit's fixed, the ''time'' around the existence exists, maybe as multiple possibilities, maybe as a set destination. The concept of before, now and after doesn't exist to them, and therefore, change isn't possible.
Now, if you exist in a Universe of Observation, you recognize past, present and future as different things. This allows change. The past is constantly changed into the present, and you are constantly - because of the fluctuations of your actions - changing the so called ''present'' of tomorrow.
This basically means time is an illusion, at least as a fixed existence. And that's why Cornerstones are a thing. As time itself is by it's very nature something that, as a linear thing, not existent, the Cornerstones of Humanity/Quantum Time-Locks exist so as to fix the past of Humanity and allow it to exist as it is, a being that accumulates time as it lives as it goes one direction chronologically.
Basically, Humans do things weird and very dumbly because they couldn't understand the systems of the planet were meant to be used by them, not rule over them, and therefore, followed by them
