Could you please point us to some literature about the 'histories'

would relate to 'histories', and I could not find any specific
literature about that kind of ontological representation. Probably
I searched in the wrong places.

One of the CYC reports cites Patrick's work as related, specifically
chapter 3 of Formal Theories of the Commonsense World, which you can
read a snippet of at. To find out specifically about histories, do
search within this book...

I haven't been able to find Pat's "Naive Physics" papers on line,
but certainly googling them comes up with a bunch of interesting
stuff :)

I am somewhat confused about why we need to introduce the term
'history', and as it seems, others have been confused too. I would
rather prefer to just call these entities 'things at a certain
timespan'. Histories, in the common understanding, cannot have
properties like 'temperature' -- only the entities themselves can
have these properties.
