changed "s<t" to "s < t" (necessary for tex)

One can also say that the passage of time is captured in this axiomatization as the gradual refinement of the $\sigma$-algebra $B_t$, which in turn could be understood as a suitable abstraction of the intuitive idea of accumulating memory. This is in fact a very old concept, which might predate the concept of time as extension similar to space; Augustine has a nice discussion of it in Book 11 of his ``Confessions'' (which is the almost only thing I remember from introduction to philosophy that I've had as physics major). | |
