That's basically what I meant when I said "(P3) is more accurately phrased 'it is impossible for a moment to be in the past and the future, the future and the present, etc. simultaneously'".
> only true if one is referring to the past, present and future defined relative to the same present. Today is in the future of yesterday and in the past of tomorrow.
That's basically what I meant when I said "(P4) is better phrased 'every moment is at some point designated future, present, and past, but never simultaneously'".
So yeah, I think we're on the same page :)
