    Key Terms

    Non-modal(as used in metaphysics)
    Statements or descriptions that don't involve possibility, necessity, or potentiality—they just describe what actually exists and its actual features.
    Retentionalism(as a theory about how humans experience time)
    A theory about how we experience time that says consciousness holds onto recent past moments in memory, allowing us to feel time as flowing rather than as separate instants.
    Structurally intact(as describing the problem of evil)
    Still existing in its basic form unchanged; even if you describe it differently, the core logical problem remains unsolved.
    modal(in logic and metaphysics)
    Dealing with possibility and necessity—questions about what could be true, what must be true, and what's merely contingent (could go either way).
