The Truth About the Future

Abstract: There is a long-standing disagreement among Branching-Time theorists. Even though they all believe that the branching representation accurately grasps the idea that the future, contrary to the past, is open, they argue whether this representation is compatible with the claim that one among many possible futures is distinguished-the single future that will come to be. This disagreement is paralleled in an argument about the bivalence of future contingents. The single, privileged future is often called the Thin … Show more

“…Данное изменение приводит к введению дополнительных пресыщенных оценок T RL-истина и T RL-ложь, необходимых для более точного отображения идеи об актуальности будущего в контексте оккамизма (Malpass & Wawer, 2012: 131-138). Развитие данного подхода продолжается в последующих работах и на сегодняшний момент не завершено (Wawer, 2014;Wawer, Malpass, 2020;Wawer, Wroński, 2015).…”

“…Following MacFarlane (2008) and Wawer (2014), we can consider TS as a post‐semantic model based on an Ockhamist semantic model. In turn, Ockhamist semantics is based on BT structures.…”

“…There are other forms of linearism that do not entail a deterministic conception of reality: In other terms, it is possible to combine an open metaphysical view of the future with linearist semantics. The Thin Red Line (TRL) semantics adopts this train of thought (see for instance, (Øhrstrøm, 1981Malpass & Wawer, 2012;Wawer, 2014;Wawer & Malpass, 2020)); according to TRL-theorists, future-tense sentences are interpreted with respect to the future history that will actually happen. Given an instant t, we thus have many histories radiating from t but one is privileged since it is the history that will become true.…”
