Rules for anaphoric relations

Anaphoric Rule 1:

The times discussed are similar; the resulting frame is the union of both times.

Anaphoric Rule 2:
(A type of relation A-less-specific)

Anaphoric Rule 3:
(A type of relation A-frame-of-reference)
A forward time is calculated with respect to a time on the Focus List as a frame of reference.
