Structures that have unfolded in time

In the generated structures A-C we have a strong sense that they unfolded over time. We have a feeling, an intuitive certainty that the plans could only have been generated over time.
On the other hand, in D-F it is very clear that the design was created at one moment in time as an arrangement. […]
We know that A-C happened in time in some meaningful way, and in a way which mattered, and which gave them their deep essential structure. In D-F, the role of time is insignificant, trivial. Time did not affect the structure, or contribute to its design.

This seems to be less about the time, and more about the opportunity of feedback, which does need time to be responded to.
