1) Distinguish metaphysical time from physical (clock) time and maintain that the latter is a bare abstraction from metaphysical time, which has the feature of temporal becoming, and that this abstraction is useful for scientific purposes, even if B-theorteic in nature, 2) relativize temporal becoming to reference frames, just as is done with simultaneity, 3) select a privileged reference frame to define the time in which objective becoming occurs, most plausibly the cosmic time, which serves as the time parameter for hypersurfaces of homogeneity in space-time in the GTR.
