time measure
The class of temporal durations (instances of
TimeDuration
) and positions of
TimePoint
s and
TimeInterval
s along the universal timeline (instances of
TimePosition
).

time interval
An interval of time. Note that a
TimeInterval
has both an extent and a location on the universal timeline. Note too that a
TimeInterval
has no gaps, i.e. this class contains only convex time intervals.
time point
An extensionless point on the universal timeline. The
TimePoint
s at which
Process
es occur can be known with various degrees of precision and approximation, but conceptually
TimePoint
s are point-like and not interval-like. That is, it doesn't make sense to talk about how long a
TimePoint
lasts.
