"Now" means as the NLP sentence is processed - the SYMBOLIC time
at which the statement was made/read/processed. It isn't calculated
as the number of seconds since some reference point, as in the
Excel spreadsheet meaning of Now. Instead, it is a symbolic Now. (04)
My program reads a
statement that is in present tense, and therefore records the
statement in an RDB. The statement says "X is happening." Thus
the RDB record for that statement uses the present value of "Now".
It's the same Now that you use in Excel spreadsheets, but not
Turned into a numeric value of time - instead, it's the symbol NOW.
All statements in the present tense are recorded with the symbol "Now"
as the time of occurrence. (05)
