A space-time ðM; gabÞ is hole-free if, for every set K ⊆ M Any space-time that is geodesically complete is hole-free The space-time in example 2 is inextendible and hole-free. A space-time ðM; gabÞ has an epistemic hole if there are two space-time to be free of epistemic holes. In order to not count Minkowski space-time as having epistemic holes, Geodesic observers γ1 and γ2 in Minkowski space-time with one point down the class of inextendible space-times and the class of hole-free spacetimes. used to rule out "holes" in space-time. ./cache/work_zxaleptnwndhjcni2rmqrqo7f4.pdf ./txt/work_zxaleptnwndhjcni2rmqrqo7f4.txt
