Yes, 3D Objects are real, we both agree. And if 3D Objects did not have 2D Planes and 1D Lines, then 3D Objects would not be 3D Objects.

Not so. -- In your example:
The object X "changed" states (from appearance to disappearance).
The object Y "changed" states (from disappearance to appearance).
It is logical nonsense to claim "change can occur" without some-'
thing' changing. No-thing changing is no change.

Terrapin Station wrote:Without time, there can indeed be no motion (or change), because time and motion/change are identical. If you have one, you have the other, necessarily. So there can't be one without the other.
Not according to Logic. Also, I suspect your assertion (belief) is without any logical basis, but only one of indoctrinated belief.

Logical Certainties:
Time is independent of Motion.
Motion is dependent on Time.

Yes, of course, and apparently you can't/don't recognize simple logic. These truths (logical certainties) were logically derived from:
C1. Therefore,
"Without Time, there can be no Motion (of 3D objects)" is logically
TRUE.
C2. Therefore,
"Without Motion, there can be no Time" is logically
FALSE.

Have a good day Terrapin. I think we are done talking.
