. S is a part of LI, and T is the one right after. But S is arbitrarily defined as may 7 etc., and I can plot infintely many different time-values onto LI. I can't do that with LI, conventionally defined. But Im missing something here, I know>
i meant to say, S being arbitrary can be mapped onto LI and T can be mapped onto LI too, and then the conjunction of S and T is like a continent is to an island. very interesting... do may 7 and may 8 bear a similar relation that LI and Manhattan Island do? ie, same type, different onjetcs (both islands). can we get times that are as categorizable as spatial constructs (islands, continenets, oceans)?
interesting.
