Realizing a Temporal Complex-Object Data Model

Summary: Proposes a temporal complex-object data model built around time slices as object states. Shows how temporal operations map to and are translated by the MAD non-temporal model, with time-slice storage relying on non-disjunct object handling in the underlying system.
