AT< You can’t “get away” with that, or similar for any concept. Concepts are designed to be metamorphosed into any and all forms of their objects that may be designated, static and moving.
“The dog was slowly dying, wheezing and gasping for breath almost rhythmically” “The dog did a double backward somersault over the ball, landing on the foot I had suddenly raised.” You have to be able to envisage all temporal transformations of dog or any other conceptual object – and all physical operations that you or others may choose to conduct on any conceptual object. You also seem to be assuming that the natural conceptual form of an object is static – as on a page. Why isn’t the natural, primary form dynamic – a movie – as in real life? - and a still image secondary? A real world agent is continually moving and, with the aid of concepts, continually envisaging complex courses of action/ movement both by themself and others. P.S. All this applies to leaking bottles - “The bottle started slowly leaking and then suddenly exploded spraying the room with droplets.” You think we translate those images into still photos?

Why would I model "dog" with a "full" time dimension when I can get away with 1) infant mammal (sucking milk) 2) young mamal, head proportinally larger 3) old mammal, slow moving and soon to die. Or why would I model the time dimension of water bottle that is licking from a crack in its base, all I want to know is that the water level will go through all levels and I should hurry if level zero is not what I want. So what design change are you envisaging?
