This is very similar to the philosophy of several frenchmen. Bergson, for example, talked about the virtual and the actual as you talk about the temporal and the spatial. I've developed an idea which I find interesting: there are two types of infinities and two types of eternities. There is the absolute form, the space-time form, which is something that exists everywhere (which must be infinite) and at everytime (which must be eternal). There is the temporal form, which is that something exists all the time within a local space. There is the spacechronic form which is that something exists all the time but changing of place, so it's actually in a finite period of time in every place, but cosntantly moving for ever. There is also the spatial form which is that something is infinite but not eternal, so it is infinite in space for a finite period of time. The philosopher Gilles Deleuze was greatly influenced by Bergson, and extended the differentiation: he said that the virtual is qualitative and the spacial is quantitative, the time is expression and the space is representation, the expression is done by attributes and the representation is done by properties... But really I think too much differentiation, even though Deleuze does take us with it to incredibly new ideas. But where do you want to go?
