This is a model that describes a universe comprised entirely of points (0-dimensional objects) and time. The underlying mechanism of this model is very simple: any object is a collection of point-time constructions. A construction of a higher order can be accomplished through a kind of 'time exposure' of an object of a lower order.
Let me illustrate:
Think of one of the tail lights in http://img60.imageshack.us/img60/1807/1ld2.jpg [Broken].
Likewise, when a line is exposed to time its time exposure creates a rectangle.
And a rectangle creates a rectangular solid in time exposure.
A shape can therefore be thought of as a cross-section exposed to time.

Note that, while a cube in our perception is the very unit of substance and form, it is nothing more than a point and some time in this model.
