Movement is simply matter going from point A to B. "Fast" or "slow" means, how far did our reference object (ex. Earth) move relative to the movement of another object.

Movement is an abstraction that connects discrete events.

Better than "event" would be "state", as in theoretically measurable arrangement of things.
