A Generalized Model For A Relational Temporal Database

Summary: Generalized relational temporal model with a Boolean algebra of multidimensional time stamps and symmetric inter-dimension interaction. Two-dimensional model with real-world and transaction timestamps enables past-state queries and error/update classification. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
