Temporal Alignment
Summary: Relational algebra for interval data under sequenced semantics; adds splitter and aligner to realize snapshot reducibility and change preservation. PostgreSQL kernel; supports outer/anti-joins and interval aggregations; evaluation shows efficiency and scalability. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
