Time occupation

the 4d view x is a temporal part of y =df (i) x exists for a shorter span of time than y, and (ii) throughout x’s existence, x exactly overlaps y. The 4D View (4D): Any object that is extended in time has a different temporal part at each moment of its temporal extension.

the 3d view x is wholly present at moment t =df x is located at t, but not in virtue of having a temporal part at t. The 3D View (3D): Any object that is extended in time is wholly present at each moment of its temporal extension.

thank goodness that’s over A nd here is how The 4D View can help The B Theorist respond to Prior’s “Thank Goodness That’s Over” Argument. Suppose the B Theorist is also a 4Der. Then he can say that there is a sense in which the thing that says “Thank goodness that’s over” is not you. It is instead a temporal part of you, namely, the temporal part of you that immediately follows the relevant headache. And that temporal part of you is indeed thankful to be later than the headache, rather than simultaneous with it.

lewis’s argument 1. Sentences like (PC) are often true. 2. If (1), then either temporary intrinsics are disguised relations, or Presentism is true, or to possess different temporary intrinsics is to have different temporal parts with different intrinsic properties. 3. It’s not the case that temporary intrinsics are disguised relations. 4. It’s not the case that Presentism is true. 5. If to possess different temporary intrinsics is to have different temporal parts with different intrinsic properties, then The 4D View is correct. 6. The 4D View is correct.

thomson’s argument 1. If The 4D View is true, then whenever a piece of chalk persists for any extended period of time, infinitely many distinct chalk-like objects pop in and out of existence where that chalk is located during that time. 2. It’s not the case that whenever a piece of chalk persists for any extended period of time, infinitely many distinct chalk-like objects pop in and out of existence where that chalk is located during that time. 3. The 4D View is not true.
