Time is so /weird/ that I don't know how computers will ever wrangle it comprehensively.

Just consider the weird but valid scenario in relativity where A can occur before B, B before C, and C before A. I'm not sure how you would wrangle something like that in a data format.

Can that happen in relativity? How?

I’m guessing for different observers. No idea how for a single observer all those could possibly be true
