Dear Hitoshi,
I do not see conflict between "space" and "time" but that they
are complementary in the sense that we distinguish space at
the expense of distinguishing time and vice versa. This dualism
makes "space-time" seem quite natural just as the wave and particle
duality was resolved by calling these "wave-particles".
Somehow I think that your Local Systems should form structure
from an "economy" as a constraint:
