RE: 3-D Programming Logic

P.S. Programming logic as it stands today seems to me (as I eat my 
vegetables) to deal with the instant. What I am proposing is a logic that 
deals with *instants* across the spectrum of *time*. I may be naive in this 
assumption, but it appears to me that I have quite literally called your 
hand and raised you a dimension. Truly, the logic of which I foreshadow is 
just around the corner. I'm calling you top-level programmers to recognize 
this fact, and address it now, before it's upon us and we're scrambling. In 
all candor, I may be new to programming, but far from new to logic. My best 
friend's an internationally renown theoretical physicist.
