No, that's my answer following the clue you gave: "Because of time flow" as it is the only thing I can think of that fits.

1. If anything must obey sequential order, it requires time and can be argued to be absolute absolute as you have put it. And we require it to react (answer) to an action (question).

2. You can do whatever you want with time, even stop it for a given frame of reference, even treat it as not a continuous and linear change (non-linear time flow or quantised time theory) but you damn skippy can't work without something that takes a role of sequence reference. Sure, you can have ordering without time. Pointing to a line and saying "events progress along this direction as consecutive frames" just substituted velocity for time flow.

3. It takes no effort but manipulating it requires more and more effort in proportion to change.

4. Opposite measure can have a dual meaning, but work. It's either an inverse of time (frequency) or completely changing its direction (time travel). As time measured gets shorter and shorter between something, the frequency tends to infinity. Second meaning… I'm not even close to call myself well-versed in general relativity, but to my knowledge time travel is not possible for any energy.

Out of curiosity, what's the answer? You might want to use spoiler tags for that, provided you are willing to share.
