In the world of the cardinal there is no such concept as past-present-future.
these ordinal concepts are derived from our attempts to 'drill down' to get details on something. This 'vertical' process, when done to a high degree leads to the emergence of a pattern horizontally that we interpret as a sequence... IOW refined ordinality is DERIVED.
