Axioms (3)

If point is an instance of time point and point is not equal to positive infinity, then point happen?{s} before positive infinity.
(=>
      (and
            (instance ?POINT TimePoint)
            (not
                  (equal ?POINT PositiveInfinity)))
      (before ?POINT PositiveInfinity))

If point is an instance of time point and point is not equal to positive infinity, then there exists otherpoint so that otherpoint is between point and positive infinity.
(=>
      (and
            (instance ?POINT TimePoint)
            (not
                  (equal ?POINT PositiveInfinity)))
      (exists
            (?OTHERPOINT)
            (temporallyBetween ?POINT ?OTHERPOINT PositiveInfinity)))

If process is an instance of physical, then "after "the time of existence of process"" is equal to "interval between "the end of "the time of existence of process"" and positive infinity".
(=>
      (instance ?PROCESS Physical)
      (equal
            (FutureFn
                  (WhenFn ?PROCESS))
            (TimeIntervalFn
                  (EndFn
                        (WhenFn ?PROCESS))
                  PositiveInfinity)))
