Abstract

In this paper we briefly introduce the basics of a proposed temporal set theory together with the associated tropology. In this theory, sets and attributes are expressed as functions over time, and we suggest how temporal attributes in general, and spatiotemporal attributes in particular, can be implemented based on this theory.
