Summary 
Both the static and the dynamic features of biological reality are now being considered in formal methods of representation in biomedicine. In the following, we lay out a theory that takes into account both points of view while also attempting to resolve the far-from-simple problem of ensuring that they are coherently integrated (Grenon et al,2011). We argue that a robust ontology should be able to provide an explanation for reality both in the present moment and as it develops over time, but that these are two distinct and difficult-to-accomplish goals. We propose a formal ontology for the biomedical domain that is modular in nature, consisting of two parts: one for biological objects, roughly matching anatomy, and one for biological processes, roughly corresponding to physiology (Grenon et al,2011). The end result is a collaboration between the traditionally opposed views of "three-dimensionalists" and "four-dimensionalists," with surprising results. We provide a method that makes their integration possible and gives some instances of its use in biomedicine.
Strengths and limitation
Processes that define, for instance, biomedical rhythms and other processes, occur in all parts of the body with varying regularity. For example, circadian rhythms, the period between when you sleep and when you get up,
