- The source entity 'instant of time' is explicitly defined in its relationships as 'is_the_only_true' 'Present Time' (Candidate 1). The source text for this relationship states: 'If an instant of time be conceived... that alone is it, which may be called present.' This indicates that the 'instant of time' is the true, indivisible form of 'present time', making them the same real-world philosophical concept.
