Abstract

This paper establishes two facts. The first is that a recently presented problem for supervaluationism (found in Delia Fara's 'Scope Confusions and Unsatisfiable Disjuncts', in Cuts and Clouds, [2010]) applies equally to the branching-time cousin of the theory (first presented in Thomason's Indeterminist Time and Truth-Value Gaps, in Theoria [1970]). The second fact is that a new version of branching-time supervaluationism (presented by Malpass & Wawer, A New Future for the Thin Red Line, in Synthese [2012]) avoids this and related problems.
