temporal disjunction

Temporal disjunction refers to a situation where two events or states do not occur at the same time or do not have overlapping time periods. In other words, one event happens completely before or after another, with no overlap. For example, if you finished your homework last night and went to bed, those two activities are temporally disjoint because they occur at separate times. This concept helps in understanding how events relate in time, especially when analyzing sequences or timing in various contexts like history, logic, or system processes.
