Helmut, my book has a lot to say about relations between time and logic, but 
probably the most relevant to your question is here: Objecting and Realizing 
(TS ·12) (gnusystems.ca) <https://gnusystems.ca/TS/blr.htm#propSingular>  . 
Actually there’s more of Peirce than of me in it, but I hope there’s no 
objection to that.

Yes, but I don´t know if I am right. It would mean, that temporality is 
something more than causality: Mere causality in the present would be 
symbolized with another implication: "If A then (if A then B)". But this term 
reduces to "if A Then B", when you write it with Boolean "not"s  or an EG. But 
only if you separate the past (the premiss) from the present, you get the 
contradiction "A and not A" in it (in the past). So yes, it is a disagreement 
with 

‘the form of the relation of two instants of time, or what is the same thing as 
the relation between a logical antecedent and consequent.’

because it is the hypothesis, that it is not the same thing. But I don´t feel 
competent of disagreeing, so it is not my well-fermented opinion, but rather a 
question: Might it be like that, and what do you think?

Best

 

Helmut

Helmut, on this point you seem to disagree with Peirce about logical relations. 
Peirce in 1880 (W4:170) identified illation as the basic or ‘primitive’ logical 
relation, and in his 1906 ‘PAP’ (MS 293) he identified it with ‘the form of the 
relation of two instants of time, or what is the same thing as the relation 
between a logical antecedent and consequent.’

Supplement: The logical connection between premiss and rule cannot be 
symbolized with logical notation including EGs. It is a temporal connection, a 
relation between past and present. Logic notation merely notes the status of 
the present. Implication implies this temporal relation, and "not (A and not 
B)" doesn´t. So both are different, but this difference doesn´t show in logical 
notation.
