==== I. Spacetime Representation of Arabic Verb Tenses ====

In relativistic mechanics, we describe events in a four-dimensional spacetime. Arabic verb tenses can be mapped onto different regions of the Minkowski diagram, which represents events as seen by an observer.
# Perfect Tense (Al-Māḍī - الماضي) → Past Light Cone - Describes events already observed, meaning their probability is 1 (certainty). - Example: كَتَبَ الطَّالِبُ الدَّرْسَ (The student wrote the lesson). - In physics, this aligns with an event already recorded in spacetime, just like a star's light reaching us from a past explosion.
# Imperfect Tense (Al-Muḍāriʿ - المضارع) → Future Light Cone (Potential Events) - Describes events that may happen or are happening, meaning their probability is between 0 and 1. - Example: يكتبُ الطالبُ الدرسَ (The student is writing the lesson). - This is equivalent to an event inside the future light cone: observable only if the causality allows.
# Imperative Tense (Al-Amr - الأمر) → Timelike Future Events (Guaranteed Outcome) - A command assumes a deterministic outcome once given. - Example: اكتبِ الدرسَ! (Write the lesson!) - In physics, this is akin to a force applied to an object, ensuring its acceleration and motion in a defined trajectory.

===== Diagram Representation =====
* The past light cone represents perfect tense (Māḍī - الماضي).
* The future light cone represents imperfect tense (Muḍāriʿ - المضارع).
* Timelike trajectories represent imperative tense (Amr - الأمر).

If drawn, it would resemble:

                          |
             Future Command (Imperative)
