Although the so-called frame problem generated multiple debates at the end of last century, it is still a fundamental problem for the advancement of Cognitive Science, in general, and for Artificial Intelligence, in particular. In this work, and restricting us to the logical aspect of the problem, we postulate that the actual and underlying discussion to this aspect revolves around how to determine what does not change in terms of actions and properties into a formal logical system. It is on this aspect, and based on its difficulties (i) definitional and (ii) resolutive, that in this work we will argue that the so-called "temporary criterion" can not only be estimated as one of the main theoretical requirements to (i) solve it, but also to (ii) make its main difficulty more explicit, namely, “what is relevant” in the face of change over time. In this way, we argue that temporal-logical reasoning is necessary to construct any fully satisfactory solution to the logical aspect of the frame problem understood as the way in which, immediately, we determine relevance in the face of change.
