Temporal relations are elimininable in terms of spatiality (imho, as is
everything; at least *each and every* concept of physics *is*
expressible in terms of distance). This is in accordance with Peano's
axioms, the basis of all of math (and all of science). OTOH, and that
is exactly what worries me, LW says in TLP that the solution to the
riddle lies outside space (and time). Oh, well.

Imho, in essence, a temporal sequence does not differ from a spatial
one.

But are there ones inexpressible in spatial terms (I expect not, which
is an argument for strong A.I.)?

Thank you very much for writing.
