A phase is modelled as sub-class of crm:E4 Period and its substance is to be a collection of coherent crm:E5 events. Therefore, inevitably: yes, it necessarily habe a spatial dimension.

Does a phase necessarily have a spatial dimension? And if so, can it have more than one? In this case, it must correspond to its maximum spatial projection during its duration.
