There is no time in mathematics. Nothing happens. In particular, nothing
comes into being.

 Then your sentence "Yes, but not before another interval hits the cursor." is false.

 It is not false but it is not a mathematical statement as it refers to
your moving cursor that is not a mathematical object.

 You are wrong. Even Cantor has given lectures on mechanics as a part of mathematics.

Formerly the term "mathematics" has been used in a more general sense
than has recently been in fashion. Mathematicians don't anymore regard
mehanics, astronomy, or music as mathematics, or at best they regard
them as "applied mathematics".

But your "cursor"
and its movment and therfore my "before" can be converted to mathematical
presentation

 It is an object of applied mathematics.

Matter of opinion, and so is whether applied mathematics is mahtematics.
