The concept of “location” arises in the context of entities which are at rest
relative to each other. A thing’s location is the place where it is situated.
But a moving object is not at any one place—it is in motion. One can locate a
moving object only in the sense of specifying the location of the larger fixed
region through which it is moving during a given period of time. For instance:
“Between 4:00 and 4:05 p.m., the car was moving through New York City.” One can
narrow down the time period and, correspondingly, the region; but one cannot
narrow down the time to nothing in the contradictory attempt to locate the
moving car at a single, fixed position. If it is moving, it is not at a fixed
position.
The law of identity does not attempt to freeze reality. Change exists; it is a
fact of reality. When a thing is changing, that is what it is doing, that is
its identity for that period. What is still is still. What is in process is in
process. A is A.
