"time" is first-class citizen (not just vocabulary)
like subclass, isa becomes part of the model
goal: capture validity intervals
[ - delta, t ] value valid [ t, + delta ] [ - inf, t ] constant [ t, + inf ] [ 0, t ] instant [ t, 0 ]
define temporal relations
before, after, contains, outside, coincide, ...
imprint this on EVERY assertion in the model
