SUMMARY:Open future and Actuality
DESCRIPTION:Authors: Francesco Gallina &amp\; Giuseppe Spolaore (University
  of Padova)The advocates of a branching conception of time come in two mai
 n sorts: Thin Red Line (TRL) theorists and Open Futurists. TRL theorists h
 old that a specific possible future\, the &lsquo\;thin red line&rsquo\;\, 
 is already marked or individuated as the actual future. Open Futurists hol
 d instead a democratic stance towards possible futures: no possible future
  is marked or individuated as the actual one.&nbsp\; According to a standa
 rd view\, Open Futurism entails that there is no unique actual future. Our
  aim is twofold. First\, we show that the Open Futurism\, far from being i
 nconsistent with the existence of a unique actual future\, really entails 
 it. Second\, we show that\, once Open Futurists recognize the existence of
  the actual future\, they have access to a very natural semantics approach
  to future contingents. Besides being independently plausible\, this appro
 ach enables them to solve the so-called assertion problem(s).
