&gt; but is not a
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; continuant.
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Note that an occurrent may have participants 'inside'
&gt; &gt; it which are
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; continuants, such as the players in a football match.
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In a 4-d ontology, a continuant is something whose
&gt; &gt; spatiotemporal
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; extent is thought of as dividing into temporal stages roughly
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; perpendicular to the time-axis.
