To represent light in these terms, figure 1d depicts a photon B as stationary, located in space, and according to A, 10 ls distant from the origin o. B is absorbed by A as the latter moves in time at the intersection of t = 10.
Note that A is always in space, hence the x-axis actually follows the motion of A in time and is depicted both at the origin and the end of the duration represented in the diagram.
A further deduction
If motion in time is regarded as perpendicular to the spatial dimensions, such motion would arguably have two aspects: To move perpendicular to the spatial (directly away from or toward any three-dimensional point) could be described as a concentric, wavelike motion relative to each point in space - because only a concentric radiation (away from) or concentration (toward), in the spatial aspect of a four-dimensional motion in spacetime could be considered perpendicular to a point in three dimensions at once. But since four-dimensional motion in the spacetime continuum would always remain in space as it moves across space, the motion would also involve a trajectory across definite spatial points. Therefore, a body moving in time could be described as continuously radiating from a series of points in space, and concentrating upon those it approaches.
If the photon is regarded as a spatial (a-temporal) object embedded in space, an observer who regards herself as at rest, and light as moving, while actually moving across space in time, will experience direct interactions with photons as impacts with moving particles, and will experience indirect interactions as the manifestations of waves. The apparent wave/particle duality of light would reflect the observations and interactions of bodies moving in spacetime with other bodies (photons) embedded in space.
We could therefore describe motion in time as a motion literally across space, a continuous radiation from one point in space and a concentration upon another. The apparent motion of light would in this hypothesis be the reflection of an observer's motion in time and across space.
