Abstract. A model of time as numerical order of material change inside a fundamental timeless three-dimensional dynamic quantum vacuum defined by a variable energy density is proposed. The emergence of time as a mathematical parameter that does not flow on its own but derives as a consequence of the entanglement between a system and a clock, is explored in a picture where the three-dimensional quantum vacuum is subjected to a dissipative hydrodynamics. Perspectives as regards the treatment of entangled systems of two interacting qubits in the three-dimensional dynamic quantum vacuum subjected to a dissipative hydrodynamics are analysed.
