How would this be different, from the point of view of the driver, if it is the Car that is standing still and Platoville is being continuously created around it? There is no detectable difference *unless* there are second order changes. An example of the latter is the feeling you have when you press the gas pedal hard and release the break pedal, Or release the gas pedal and press the break pedal hard. Platonia (or COsmic Intelligence) does not consider any kind of change within it, not even zeroth order, thus cannot be considered as an irreducible source of all things. It is a nice metaphor that simply should never be taken literally unless doing so will never emit or imply a contradiction. -- Onward!
