Branching for a transient time

Tomasz Placek

pp. 73-92

In this paper I analyze this variety of transient time theory that relies on the notion of open future. I present algebraic models of phenomena with transient time, understood as above. The models are then linked to relativistic spacetimes. I finally address some interpretational issues and defend the theory of branching time against David Lewis' objections.
