 Action model-style modalities \([A,e]\) of Dynamic Epistemic Logic have a temporally suggestive reading: “after action \((A,e)\), formula F is true”. This “before-after” reading suggests, naturally enough, that time passes as actions occur. The semantics of action models supports this suggestion: determining the truth of an action model formula \([A,e]F\) in a model—the model “before” the action—requires us to apply the model-transforming operation induced by the action \((A,e)\) and then see whether F holds in the model that results “after” the action. Channeling Parikh and Ramanujam (2003) some DEL authors further this suggestion by using the temporally charged word “history” to refer to a sequence of pointed Kripke models brought about by the occurrence of a sequence of model-transforming operations. All of this seems to point to the existence of a direct relationship between the occurrence of model-transforming actions and the passage of time: time passes as these actions occur. However, the formal languages introduced so far do not have a built-in means for directly expressing the passage of time, and so, as a consequence, the axiomatic theories developed above are silent on the relationship between the flow of time and the occurrence of model-changing actions. This leaves open the possibility that, within the context of these theories, the passage of time and the occurrence of actions need not necessarily relate as we might otherwise suspect.
