dc.description.abstract | This paper presents a new view of the relationship between states, processes
and events. Instead of trying to treat them as entities all on a similar footing, as most previous
authors have done, we regard processes as abstract patterns of behaviour which may be realised
in concrete form as actually occurring states or events. Processes are divided into two broad
types, called continuables and repeatables, and various mappings between and within these
categories are considered. The theory presented here is consistent with recent theorising about
processes in ontology and computer science while being sensitive to the insights from the work
of philosophers and linguists over many years. | en_GB |
