# 1st Principle: 3-Dimensions PLUS Time Think always 4-dimensionally.
This short statement means to me that I always try immediately to visualize or think, whatever it is, as a Process of Time (πάντα ῥεῖ) or asymmetry, as opposed to the symmetry of the eternal natural laws of physics. This must also be true for human beings, their brain, and mind.
> Place plus Time. Add time to place and scope explodes. Requisite variety invites explicite boundaries on both time and place. Time is the defining aspect of Process and in Dov Dori's method, OPM, processes only exist in relation to stateful objects. The processes are the changeability; and therefore, the essence of life in social and biological systems. Time = rate of change of state. Time = process. I am not sure what time would mean outside the experience of change and processes of change.
