Atomism, Temporality, Copernicus

According to Atomism, relations between fundamental elements are external to them.  Thus, for Hume, Temporality is an external relation, i. e. in 'A precedes B', neither A nor B are temporal, and 'precedes' is a special case of  'differs from', an intellectual construction extrinsically imposed on sensory data A and B.  Kant's response, which is supported by subsequent micro-analysis, is that A and B each is itself temporal, i. e. each is an event that, as brief as it may appear to be, takes time to occur.  In other words, for Kant, even basic perception is a mobile event.  That is a main reason why the Copernican example that is significant to Kant is neither the immobile Earth of Geocentrism, nor the immobile Sun of Heliocentrism, but the revolving spectator, i. e. around the axis of the Earth, as has been previously argued here, against the standard interpretation of his 'Copernican revolution'.
