*Contrary to Time Conditional in Talmudic Logic M. Abraham, D. Gabbay, U. Schild Bar-Ilan University, Israel abstract.* We consider action conditionals of the form B <<=== A ( read: B if A ) where A depends on the future and B on the present For Example *I give you this pen to be owned by you now (B) on the condition you be a good boy for a whole week ( A)* We examine models for such conditional arising in Talmudic legal cases. We call such conditionals *Contrary to Time (CTT)* conditionals. We also consider assertions of the form B((*i*x)A(x)) where A depends on the future and B on the present, and *i *is the Iota operator Three main aspects will be investigated: 1. Inverse causality from future to past, where a future condition can influence a legal event in the past (this is a man made causality). 2. The status of identification of entities in the present using definite descriptions involving the future. 3. Processes which create reality via legal decisions and norms. We shall see that we need a new temporal logic, which we call *TTL (Talmudic Temporal Logic ) * with linear open advancing future and parallel changing past, based on two parameters for time
