Abstract
This paper aims its focus to show the intertranslatability between 3-Dimensionalism, 4-Dimensionalism and Growing Block Theory is shown to work logically in this essay.. The research done for this paper allows readers to gain a new way of looking at these theories all as the same. Using different laws such as superposition, Leibnizian identity laws, and articulated concepts such as current vs uncurrent existence and anti-category mistakes, the proof is able to all come together as one. The essay gains inspiration from works on time by philosophers like E.J. Lowe, Storrs McCall and Daniel Deasy. The ability to inter-translate all three theories begins with assertion of categories and the parity of time. The paper brings up eternal and present properties such as endurance and perdurance and finishes off with a proof using the Leibnizian law of identity.
