breadth
Explanation:
I would turn to breadth... but I would also question the wisdom of the original text which appears a bit too high faluting... if you will forgive my saying so... What is a temporal horizon? For example.

Notes to answerer
Asker: vottorio, you don't have to apologise. i agreee that it's ,all very long-winded. it takes them ages to say something really quite simple. i suppose a temporal horizon is a sort of time scale.

neutral  James (Jim) Davis: This is just so vague, to paraphase somebody who was not. However , the only part I really understand is the "time horizon". I meant the Italian author, not you Vittorio.
