The temporal dimension indicates that earthquake origin times are concentrated on a small subset of total time, determining quantitatively properties of this subset are the basis for the short-term earthquake prediction. Similarly, the long-term forecasts are based on the description of the spatial structure of earthquake occurrence, its dimension p…
