I probably should NOT have said P's world is UNdefined. I was thinking
more of overdefined or multidefined. In the case of the time dimension,
what if the time t of a given event is such that t square minus  t equals 
zero. Thus t equals either one or zero. In other words we can chose to
call the event either proleptic or simultaneous with respect to the
base. Or, if instead, t square PLUS  t equals zero, then t is either
negative one or zero, and the event can be either ANAleptic or
simultaneous. (this works well in a one or zero situation--the kind
preferred you know who)

Just playing this morning.
