| Timelessness: sentences such as "The door is open" are not unambiguously endowed with a truth value (true / false) as long as more precise provisions are missing. By setting the time and place, such a sentence is made timeless. A corresponding timeless sentence is therefore true at this time and at all later times when the door was open at this time. See also truth values, interpretation._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Gottlob Frege on Timelessness - Dictionary of Arguments
IV 52 Idea/Frege: there is no complete thought without time determination. But then it is also timelessly true or false. Expression/assertion/Frege: there is a difference: determination of time is part of the expression. Whereas truth is part of the claim and is timeless. Timeless statements do not belong to the outside world. >Truth, >Outer world, >Expressions, >Statements, >Assertions, >Truth value._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
