Abstract

This paper consists of a combination of material from sections 3.2, 4.5, and 4.6 from the 1997 edition of Time, Tense, and Causation, together with material added to correct an error in that earlier discussion. The added material was then used in the revised, paperback edition of Time, Tense, and Causation (2000), partly in section 4.6.2, but mainly in the Appendix.
