Liquid Time

This essay presents a non-dualistic view of reality that is based on an ontology of dimensionality, which regards motion as the 4th dimension, rather than 'time'.

Excerpt: "The variable of speed is beyond the ordinary conception of motion, so we tend to regard it as inconsequential. But motion in the sense of speed is precisely how it ties in to reality. This can be observed in the shape of a wave. It is not simply that the form would not exist without motion, but that the variable of speed determines the variety of curves in a wave. A wave behind a rock in a stream is a good example of this principle: the water flows through the wave while the form expresses the various speeds at which the water is moving."
