problem of future contingents

tomorrow must either happen or not; but it is not necessary that it happen, nor necessary that it not — only necessary that one of the two.

Recast in definition form from: “A sea-fight must either take place to-morrow or not, but it is not necessary that it should take place to-morrow, neither is it necessary that it should not take place, yet it is necessary that it either should or should not take place to-morrow.”
