If 'it is now t' expresses an irreducibly self-locating belief, then its truth-conditions cannot be fully captured by any tenseless proposition an atemporal knower could entertain.

Irreducibly(describing how 'mass' appears in Newton's second law): In a way that cannot be broken down into simpler parts; something that has to remain as is.
atemporal knower(used as a thought experiment to show why certain beliefs can't be fully captured without time): An imaginary being or perspective that exists outside of time and therefore has no sense of 'now' or when things are happening.
self-locating belief(Contrasted with beliefs that can be straightforwardly transferred between agents without change of truth value): A belief whose content is essentially indexed to the believer's own position, identity, or situation (e.g., 'my pants are on fire'), such that the same sentence expresses a different proposition for different subjects
tenseless proposition(contrasted with the self-locating belief about 'now'): A statement about facts that doesn't use past, present, or future tense—just timeless truths like 'the Earth orbits the Sun' without saying when.
