Time on Trial: The Rise of Temporal Logic


Listen Later

From Aristotle’s future contingents to modern verification, we explore how temporal logic handles statements whose truth evolves over time. We trace the journey from Pryor’s tense logic to branching time with CTL and linear time with LTL, and unpack core operators like F, P, G, H, until, and release. Learn how these ideas power precise guarantees in software and hardware—such as eventual access or safe concurrency—and why they matter for today’s AI-enabled systems.
