Point-based temporal reasoning

Point-based temporal reasoning is a method used to understand and analyze how events relate to specific moments in time. It treats key moments as points on a timeline and examines their order, simultaneity, or distance from each other. This approach helps determine whether one event occurs before, after, or at the same time as another. By focusing on these individual points, it simplifies complex temporal relationships, making it easier to model, infer, and make decisions based on when events happen, which is useful in areas like scheduling, planning, and reasoning about time-sensitive information.
