Definitions
Comment: All instances of "span:Occurrent" ("occurrent") are temporal entities, that is, they enter in the relation of (temporal) location with "span:TemporalRegion" ("temporal_region") entities. As a particular case, the exact spatiotemporal location of a "span:TemporalRegion" ("temporal_region") is this region itself. "snap:Continuant" ("continuant") entities are not temporal entities in the technical sense just explained; they are related to time in a different way, not through temporal location but through a relation of existence at a time or during a period of time (see "snap:Continuant" ("continuant")). Comment: An instance of "span:TemporalRegion" ("temporal_region") is a part of time. All parts of time are "span:TemporalRegion" ("temporal_region") entities and only "span:TemporalRegion" ("temporal_region") entities are parts of time. Time is the entire extent of the temporal universe, a designated individual, which is thus a temporal region itself. Examples: the time it takes to run a marathon, the duration of a surgical procedure, the moment of death Comment: Time and "span:TemporalRegion" ("temporal_region") entities are entities in their own rights which exist independently of any entities which can be located at them. This view of time can be called "absolutist" or "the container view" in analogy to what is traditionally the case with space (see "snap:SpatialRegion" ("spatial_region")). Definition: An "span:Occurrent" ("occurrent") that is part of time.
