By "state of a person" do you mean temporal slice of that person's
space-time worm? (04)
I emphasized "individuals" to eliminate predicates. I also wanted to
exclude that these were roles. I would want answers to questions
such as
(PresidentOfIreland givenName ?NAME) (05)
(KingOfNorway ageInYears ?NUMBER) (06)
(and
(KingOfNorway parentOf ?PRINCESS)
(?PRINCESS givenName ?PNAME)) (07)
Would modeling these terms as states of a person allow the correct
answers to be given for such queries that were correctly temporally
constrained? (08)

Yes, I previously stated this. (010)
