Actually... I'm not so sure... I'm not so sure what to say about that.

A - B - C - D - E - F

And the sum total of that = G

Does G change through time?

G just is the totality of slices.

Does G change through time?

Time slices change...

Each individual time slice doesn't...

But there are alterations in properties between time slices.

I guess you can say that the object changes at different points in time.

But G isn't located in any one point in time.

I'm not sure why I heard someone say that 4D objects aren't supposed to change...

I don't know.

I think this line is supposed to be an attempt at a solution of paradoxes around

Changing

and

Not changing

too

But I'm not sure...

And on this account how many ships of Thesus are there?

Ak.
