Some thoughts...
Movement happens in duration. We could say that movement happens in time. But, then, any movement is change which happens in time that never stops. Time has length and as we know it is directional and sequential. There is always the now, which we could say that it has no dimension, but it then becomes the past awaiting for the future. But, then, again, to realize the past-present-future we must have memory of it. Or memory and imagination (imagination being the memory of the future? - I am sorry, cannot remember who said that...)But movement happens also in space. Space also has dimensions - at least 3. And remembering a line from John Ralston Saul book 'On Equilibrium': "Memory is not the past. It is the water you swim trough, the words you speak, your gestures, your expectations. This suggests that memory has a shape. We use it every day. From it we grasp a context - for our thoughts, our questions, our actions. For our lives. "
So... the way I happen to "see" movement is a continuous multi-dimensional entity...
