critically (I think), you have reintroduced time which is not in Stian's example. If we discount time as Stian and I did, i.e. we 
assume two observers look at the same scene at the same time, would my conclusion be more reasonable?  If so, then maybe the old 
idea of accounting for "temporal overlaps" in the definition of alternate needs to come back. And if it does, then we are back to 
some earlier "pseudo-transitivity" property that was discussed a while ago, and was dismissed as awkward, and I would agree on 
giving up on transitivity altogether. Would that help address your other question:
