The conception is presented in two versions: the standard one in which relative time relations are applied, and the non-standard one - based on absolute time relations. The book also contains: the analysis of the relationship between past, present, and future and time; the specification of various possible connections of past, present, and future with existence; the temporal-relational characterization of the becoming of things and events, and finally - an analogous characterization of the coming-to-be, lasting, and passing away of things. The author assumes the ontology of so-called point-eventism, according to which every object is either a point-like event (spatio-temporally non-extended), or a set founded in such events; e.g., things are special sets of events.
