F. HEYLIGHEN comments: “The causal structure of space-time, determined by the requeriment that causal processes be ”enclosed“ by the light cone, introduces an additional redundancy (determining a topology on space-time) and a higher-order distinction between processes inside, outside, or on the light cone while, at the same time, relativizing the invariance of the lower-order distinctions defining simultaneity” (1990,a, p.442).
