Following our previous collaborations, it had been our intention from the start to make a connected image that would permit us to visual- ize the previously disconnected sequence of changes in topology all at once. This is completely unlike making an animated movie from a sequence of stills, because the movie still unfolds in time, whereas our image is timeless. ‘The whole is no longer subjected to time but rather possesses time within itself’ (Wellmann 2017: 83).

Quoted from Drawing Processes of Life, 2024.

Here, the intent to include time into the whole is articulated so succinctly that I'm going to steal it in its entirety. From now on, all categories should include time by default (see e.g. Lawvere's take on Hegel.)
