Similar supplementation figures prominently in computer science, whose practitioners are quite concerned to build machines with appropriate temporal properties.
This support can be defeasible and it can require supplementation to be strong enough for knowledge.
An indexical is an expression whose content is not fixed by its linguistic meaning alone but requires extra-linguistic contextual supplementation.
