INTRODUCTION
 
  In languages such as English and French, the tense of the subject (past, present and future) as well as the perspective are intertwined within the sentence.  
  Similarly, certain words in modern languages are used as kinds of "pivot points:, from which to compare one concept with another.  
  In UCADIA, the object that perform the identification of tense, as well as pivot points are called "tensors".
