Hi JWK
Just a couple of points. You asked me to name an event that's not
'spatio-temporal'. I agree that my decision to go to the shop might called be
called temporal (though I even have reservations about that) but is it
spatial? Can I measure the length, breadth, and thickness of that decision? So is it a non-spatial event occurring in
time?
I may not have been clear in my Shakespeare example. Certainly,
acting on stage is a 'spatio-temporal' activity (inter alia) but it was the experience Shakespeare describes I was
referring to. Can we express Lear’s experiences in a 'spatio-temporal' formula?
DA
