aheadness (uncountable)

  1. The quality of being ahead.
    • 2010, Peter Harder, Functional Semantics, page 359:
      The central oddity of the past future stems from this fact, when considered in the light of the principle of sense: how can it make sense for the speaker to commit himself to aheadness as calculated from a past vantage point?
