Discussion of "temci"
Comment #1:
temci2 and temci3 order; also introduce temci4?
|

Should it be the case that temci2 and temci3 are ordered such that temci3 is after temci2 (in some frame of reference), thereby making temci1 an ordered or directed line segment/interval? For typical purposes, this would add some utility to the word, but there could be situations in which it would be troublesome. (These need not even be exotic: If one does not know the order of events A and B in time, then one's ordered application of the selbri to them will reveal a potentially undesirable bias).
___
Regardless of the first answer, I believe that we should specify a fourth sumti slot which indicates the geometry or frame of reference for the interval separating the events (see "danci"). For example, some events are simultaneous in one frame (their time interval, if inclusive on either end, would form a singleton set) but are time-separated in another (the interval would have positive measure). Moreover, if there were to be additional dimensions of time, the path taken between distinct points in time would become important.

you specify the frame with a new brivla and inside its abstraction place specify `ka ce'u ce'u ce'u temci`
As for "interval" I think niltei which is a part of temci's def. is just fine.
