Document Summary
They share a temporal part: tib the cat & the ship identity and persistence through time, identity is not an absolute relation, tibbles and ship of theasus have a similar problem to this, in the tibbles tib case, you start of clearly distinct things but their time lines converge into one, in the ship case you start off with one thing that splits into two space/time conjectories, the ship. 03/24/2010: time"s arrow events start out in the future, become present and recede into the past. A series the direction of time is the direction of change of tense (future present past) B series the direction of time is given by the earlier than" relation. The earlier than" relation cannot give us an analysis of time"s direction. For every earlier than relation, there is a later" than relation. To say that one of these relations is privileged is just to assert the direction of time.
