    (a time-dependent feature being incorrectly applied)
    The quality of being tied to a specific moment in time—like how 'now' or 'tomorrow' only make sense when you know *when* you're talking about.
    Truth-values(logic and semantics)
    Whether a statement is true or false—the two possible truth-values are 'true' and 'false.'
    inference(Nyāya epistemology)
    A component of epistemology in Nyāya philosophy; a veritable inference yields knowledge about the world and must have premises that are themselves known
    knowledge(Distinguished from mere true belief, which may be the product of indoctrination and need not exercise deliberative capacities.)
    Justified true belief — true belief that has been arrived at through the exercise of deliberative capacities, including comparison of and deliberation among alternatives.
