物质处于永恒的运动当中。凡是物质就必然占据空间，而运动意味着时间的轴线处于其中。我们在认识事物的过程中倾向于简化并降低它的维度以构建系统。点、线、面，其实都是我们对于事物广延属性的想像。然而如绝对的直线并不存在一样，平面也只是存在于我们的想像。平坦并不是事物的属性，而是我们对于世界极限的想像，是我们对于事物状态从虚空中的截取。与其说它是事物的属性不如说它更接近于人思维的属性。但更为复杂的是即使是一个简单平面上发生的事件，在时间中都意味着它在时间轴线上无尽的延绵。同时这个平面上的运动，即使是一滴水在一个平面上产生的涟漪，也会受着平面下的隐藏的水深的不同而产生完全不同的速度变化。它们在时间的轴线中，更会产生完全不同的延展。平坦的属性只存在于我们思维的“此刻”这个瞬间，有如飞鸟不动。我们也只能在“此刻”运用我们的想像，去思考平坦的全貌。

Materials are perpetually moving. Everything that is material must occupy a space, and movement means that that the axis of time is within. During the course of recognizing things, we tend to simplify them and reduce their dimensions in order to create a system. Points, lines, planes … In fact, they are the means by which we imagine the extensibility of things. But if straight lines didn’t exist, then surfaces would only exist in our imagination. Flatness is not a property of things, but the way we imagine the limits of the world – when it comes to the state of things, it’s our interception of the void. Rather than saying they are objects, it would be better to say they are more approximate to human intellect. Adding to the complexity is that they are an event occurring on a simple surface; in the midst of time, this means they are infinitely extensible on the axis of time. In addition, the movement on this plane is both the ripples of a drop of water on the surface, and also subject to entirely different changes in speed due to the different depths of water hidden beneath the surface. In the axis of time, wholly different extensions are produced. The property of ‘Plain’ only exists in the “moment” of our thoughts, like a flying bird rendered immobile. In this “moment”, we can also only use our imagination to ponder the whole picture of flatness.
