Haslanger's distinction between 'property-variation perdurance' and 'mereological perdurance' shows that processes can have temporal parts under a thin ontology that does not commit to the full reality of past and future.

Haslanger(as a reference to a specific philosopher's work): Sally Haslanger is a contemporary philosopher who studies how social categories like gender and race actually work in society, rather than just accepting common assumptions about them.
Mereological perdurance(as the other type of temporal persistence Haslanger distinguishes): A theory about how objects persist through time by saying that objects are made up of different parts at different moments in time, like a movie is made of individual frames.
Ontology(Carnap argues this enterprise is based on a mistake): The philosophical discipline that tries to answer hard questions about what there really is.
Processes(as the subject being analyzed in terms of temporal parts): Events or changes that happen over time, like growing, walking, or thinking—things that unfold rather than just sitting still.
