Things that exist in space-time (including events) can last 
for ever. Things that don't exist in space time (like
propositions) don't have duration. A proposition may
or may not be about things that exist in space-time.
A proposition may or may not make a statement of duration.
"John was in bed for a month in 1965" was not true or false
for a month, or in 1965. It is true or false atemporally.
For a relationship to last for ever (ze'e), it must have
spatio-temporal existence. Otherwise it makes no sense to
say that it exists at a given time or that it lasts for a 
given interval.

So I need a way to cancel those slots as well: zu'oroi zi'o 
and something else...
