Temporal relationships between events and their effects
are complex. As the ejjects of a given event, a
proposition may change its truth value immediately after
the occurrence of the event and remain true until some
other events occur, while another proposition m y only
become trueJalse from some time after the causal event
has occurred. Expressing delayed @ects of events has been
a problematic question in most existing theories of action
and change. This paper presents a new formalism for
representing general temporal causal relationships
between events and their effects. It allows expressions of
both immediate and delayed effects of events, and
.supports common-sense assertions such as "effects
cannot precede their causes".
