My sketches of interaction currently take the form of storyboards, similar to what people would use for comics or movies. I agree — time is definitely the fourth dimension for interaction.

And that the fourth dimension expresses change in the three lower dimensions. I have to admit I'm not quite sure which side of the profundity/obviousness line I'm walking here, but I've never seen this mentioned explicitly, so I hope it fits in as a footnote to your discussion of wider issues.
