vertical space, matter, and energy.

increases.

Example 4: If the sensation of motion were something 

which occurred “over” time, we would not experience

motion psychologically; instead, we would see static 

images which persist individually for short finite

durations.

Example 6: An observer “interacts” with a point A in 

A-space--6:00 P.M. March 1, 2000.  This point

is “dragged” by the observer for a very short 

duration (a small fraction of a second).
