Inertia is the resistance of a body to change its state of rest or motion without the intervention of any force. But, to know whether a body is moving or is at rest we must use a reference frame.
Becoming is the property of matter and bodies to experience changes (1). Changes may be continuous, sporadic or periodic (2). To realize these changes we only need to look at the body at two different moments or for a specific interval. This interval is expressed by the reference values (duration). To know how much has gone on an event we should use the reference values.
A body can be at rest or in motion depending on the reference frame we use. The motion is relative. Time always goes by from a beginning to an end in one sense, It's irreversible. The "standard" reference value we get it from a continuous and uniform becoming.
Reference frames are applied to the motion (inertia) and the reference values are applied to becoming. Although the movement is part of becoming.
(1) Contrary to the becoming are ideas (concepts and mathematical entities), which are immutable. Ideas aren't held neither to space nor time.
(2) Earth movements are continuous changes, midnight and noon are periodic. An earthquake is sporadic.
(3) The Philochrony is the theoretical framework used to explain the nature of space and time.
