Abstract
The two temporal ontologies of Part I turned out to be related, in Chapter I.4. Now that the languages of tense logic have been interpreted at both levels, there arises the matter of their connections as well. Or in more familiar methodological terms, are there any interesting reductions to be found between temporal discourse at the ‘macro-level’ of periods and at the ‘micro-level’ of points? A first speculative study is all that is undertaken in this chapter.
