Motion as a parade

Have you ever seen a parade? Have you ever been in a parade?

parade

A parade is basically a linear (1D) motion. It begins at a point with space and time and ends at a point with space and time. It is planned to progress in a certain order.

The view from the side sees the parade pass by. The parade participants change with time but the location does not. The parade represents the diachronic perspective of motion for time.

The bird’s-eye view from above (as of a camera on a drone) sees the parade as a whole. The time keeps changing but the general location does not. The parade represents the synchronic perspective of motion.

The view from a parade participant sees the streetscape pass by. The parade watchers change spatially but the chronation does not. The parade represents the diachoric perspective of spatial motion.

The view from the plan for the parade sees the parade as a whole. The distance keeps changing but the chronology does not. The parade represents the synchoric perspective of spatial motion.
