According to Dieks himself, this hypersurface unambiguously and universally divides off the ontologically definite past from the ontologically Certainly, SR as ordinarily understood, applicable to deterministic universes, presupposes or postulates one definite, precise Minkowskian spacetime structure for actual physical space-time as a whole, common to all the Dieks' universe has associated with it its own "space-time diagrams", of Dieks' universe are collapsed in this way into one overall space-time In lacking one definite overall space-time structure common to all events .
