Context
Monitor Temporal Evolution
only applies to nodes that have a temporal relationship with another node.- In this context, "monitoring" refers to observing or tracking a node's states or values as they evolve over time.

⚠️
"Temporal" is not to be confused with "temporary." Temporal refers to a relationship of nodes across different time steps. In this context, the antonym of temporal would be contemporaneous, which means that all relationships occur within the same time step.
