BST theories have received a fair share of critique on the basis of technical considerations of the space-time models of general relativity ðEarman When discussing formal models that incorporate modality, such as theories of branching histories, it is important to use terminology that allows some necessary distinctions. A history ðpossible course of eventsÞ indeed has to be "modally flat," containing no modTOPOLOGY FOR BRANCHING SPACE TIMES 1091 to individually branching space-times comes from non-Hausdorff models order-theoretic definition of BST92: each layer is a maximal directed set "Branching Space-Times, General Relativity, the Hausdorff Property, and Modal ./cache/work_fsozm7m4dzhtxo6woy2wt3ss5u.pdf ./txt/work_fsozm7m4dzhtxo6woy2wt3ss5u.txt
