Is Time a Form of Information Transfer Between Particles?

More specfically can time be defined as information being passed from particle to particle?

No. Time is just what a clock measures.

We can take that stance (assuming you are taking the stance that time is merely a human construct). And even if I believed time was merely a human construct and please bare with me as I try to make this clear, I am not usually good at clarifying my thoughts. Let me give you a scenario, say a human stands still for a hundred years. We would see it grow and get old and die. We would see change in this object. So a passage of something has taken place. I am proposing that the passage taking place is merely the passage of information from one particle and is shared with another particle. Then this information is passed on again. And everytime a particle is influenced by information it changes ever so slightly. And after a period of sharing different bits of information enough change has taken place and this is what we percieve as the passage of time.
