Thanks for that list of useful references. I'd like to add<br>
the 60-page "Catalog of Temporal Theories" by Pat Hayes:<br>
<a href="http://www.ihmc.us/users/phayes/docs/timeCatalog.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.ihmc.us/users/<u></u>phayes/docs/timeCatalog.pdf</a><br>
<br>
At the end of that catalog, Pat includes a very important disclaimer:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
There is almost no end to the temporal structures that could be defined<br>
and that might be useful. For example, this document has not considered<br>
intermittent intervals, or developed the idea of branching-time clocks,<br>
or transitivity tables for relativistic time. However, these ideas are<br>
clearly capable of considerable expressive power, and I hope that the<br>
careful comparative development might be of some utility to future<br>
temporal formalizers.<br>

In short, don't expect, imagine, or hope that any particular formulation<br>
is, will be, or can be the final definitive word on time.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
