1: What is the distinction between the meaning of 'temporal' and 'spatiotemporal'? Don't you think their meanings overlap to a degree to confuse the reader?
2: What definition of '' fits here? I think 5a and 10 are the cosest, with 10 being closer?
3: noumenon: a posited object or event as it appears in itself independent of perception by the senses.
What does 'posited' mean here? Something postulated or thought of in the mind?
