The Universe seems to me to be a watercolor done on paper which is then folded into an origami object. The folds are structure and time.
The watercolor (or, watercolour, if you prefer) is the material universe, the origami process is the "process" of Alfred North Whitehead: it is the "Story".
This is an amalgam of what we used to call Materialism and Idealism.
Time does not exist other than as the folds in the origami object, each fold creating a new facet or aspect of the entity involved, just as each moment of time is a newer and older "me".
How do I create "story" within such a universe?
I am a part of the painting, and the moisture of the watercolor wets the amorphous fibers of the paper. Then, as the watercolor dries, the fibers dry out and contract, causing stresses to align fibers in various ways and making lines of contraction where the paper creases.

This is some deep stuff! It would repay study with much more time than I have to give it, but thanks for the wondrous image anyway.
There is a whole lot of strange cosmology going on these days, much stranger than this.
