verification or confirmation of a rupture Explanation: I would definitely retain the term "rupture" as this is a key term in philosophy. "Rupture" is not the same as "break" and implies a much more nuanced understanding of temporality or the past/present: an understanding which is highlighted in the last part of your entry about the difference between an "absent-past" (one which could never be verified) and a "presence-past" (a past which is assumed to have once been present). "Constatacion" could be translated as "verification" (the term pops up in this kind of context in the links below) or, indeed, as confirmation.
