If neither instant is earlier than the other, then they are simultaneous (identical).
Having defined instants by this method, we now face the crucial question: does
this definition yield the temporal continuum of instants postulated by physicists?

Let f0 be any given instant of T which precedes some other instant r^ Then by (ii)
it follows that we can choose an instant t2 which precedes t1 and is preceded by
t0. We shall denote this by the symbolism t0<t2<t1. Similarly, we can choose an ...

Beginning with any instant f, a temporal chain of instants can be constructed so
that, if the clock is set at t, it strikes at instant 0(f), if set at 0(f) it strikes at 0{0(f)},
and in general if set at 0p(f) it strikes at dp+1(t), where 0p+l(t) = d{0p(t)}, for all ...
