temporal measurement

A temporal entity is an entity that has temporal parts and that happens, unfolds or develops through time. An occurrent is something which exists over time, rather than existing completely at many times

James Malone

The life of an organism, a surgical operation as processual context for a nosocomical infection, the spatiotemporal context occupied by a process of cellular meiosis, the spatiotemporal region occupied by the development of a cancer tumor.
