temporal-address

What problem does it solve?

Helps writers and speakers manage multiple temporal perspectives at once, ensuring presence in the moment while acknowledging past influence, possible future continuation, archival potential, and the deep time of tradition.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Immediate now: maintain full presence in the current exchange while aware of broader context.
• Near conversational future: anticipate and plan the continuation of the dialogue without losing grounding in the present.
• Possible archival future: address potential future readers or record-keepers with appropriate clarity.
• Deep time of the tradition: connect the current act to a longer lineage of ideas and voices.
• Direct address across time: speak to future readers or interlocutors when the situation calls for it.

Quick Start
