Apparently Maxwell’s Laws require time separation, but don’t dictate whether field precedes or follows charge behavior. In addition to imposing Maxwell’s equations, we also imposed causality – effect follows cause.

Remarkably, for constant current, even though the charge configuration is changing, the field here and now depends on the charge configuration right now, not back when it was emitted.
