I don't think "change" is any different from a static model with extra
dimensionality. At least in our universe, time is tightly tied to space,
and can be run backwards and forwards in a sense, from what we can
determine. Change is not something that is unapproachable to mathematics,
or inherently metaphysical...many branches of mathematics (analytical
calculus, for one) are solely purposed for descriptions of change.
