Re: P1788 Motion M0021.02: NO



Dear Ned,

in principle I do not like any non-mathematical
arguments, but now you challenge me to say
the following :

1) any  "ordinary" person can grasp the relations easily
 from the provided picture;

2) these relations will be certainly liked by the "temporal interval
algebra community" and it will be good if this community
uses the standard as well.
