Abstract
There has been debate between A-theorists and B-theorists concerning the nature of time. The A-theory presents time as moving itself and that every moment passes from past, to present, and then to future. In short, in A-theory, time itself passes. The B-theory, on the other hand, says that all moments are equally present and that there is only past and future. In the B-theory of time, time itself doesn’t move, but according to the B-theorist, there is plenty of change within time. Looking at the famous Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and Samuel Clarke (Isaac Newton’s representative) debate, Correspondence, this paper addresses the opinions surrounding space, time, and change. If Leibniz is correct in proposing that space is what occurs between objects – thus defending the relational theory of space called relationism – then it can be assumed that change is essential to time. In the end, it can be assumed that if there were to be no objects left in the universe, space would no longer exist. If space or objects did not exist, then there would be no change. Conclusively, if there were no change, time would cease to exist.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
