@VesselOfSpirit I think you're supposed to have a context that's not a snapshot of the world at a given time, but rather a set of processes -
@admittedlyhuman i think you can sort of have both if you don't have to spend half your brain being confused by events being out of order -
@admittedlyhuman i think maybe this is half the reason why paradox games are popular. because events in the games happen in the proper order

@VesselOfSpirit This is why dates are really important; you should be able to do a consistency check on whether key events have happened yet -
@VesselOfSpirit Without dates you're stuck with a partial ordering over events, in practice.
