My future light cone as of {now} actually contains things that my future light cone as of {now} does not.

Is one of those {now}s supposed to be a {then}?

Was going for instantiation while typing or reading.

Ah! Yeah, that works. It might be clearer to make that instantiation explicit by replacing the 'now' with 'time of writing' and 'time of reading.'
