7. Existence / B. Change in Existence / 1. Nature of Change
How could change consist of a conjunction of changeless facts? [Le Poidevin]
Change is not just having two different qualities at different points in some series
27. Natural Reality / D. Time / 1. Nature of Time / b. Relative time
For McTaggart time is seen either as fixed, or as relative to events [Ayer]
27. Natural Reality / D. Time / 1. Nature of Time / i. Denying time
A-series time positions are contradictory, and yet all events occupy all of them! [Le Poidevin]
Time involves change, only the A-series explains change, but it involves contradictions, so time is unreal [Lowe]
27. Natural Reality / D. Time / 2. Passage of Time / a. Experience of time
There could be no time if nothing changed
27. Natural Reality / D. Time / 2. Passage of Time / d. Time series
The B-series can be inferred from the A-series, but not the other way round [Le Poidevin]
A-series uses past, present and future; B-series uses 'before' and 'after' [Girle]
A-series expressions place things in time, and their truth varies; B-series is relative, and always true [Lowe]
The B-series must depend on the A-series, because change must be explained [Le Poidevin]
