The laws of motion are about the most usual "physical concept". When you ask what are the infinitely-many higher orders of acceleration, or "what is change, at all", then mathematics rather owes physics even a model of this, to equip physics with a physical interpretation or "concept", or what "is physical" or "real". The implicits in parameterization are a rather fundamental concept in the differential analysis, and analysis altogether, about the derivations that result, "quantities", algebraic quantities, about that even though physics often enough arrives at singularities at the edges or right outside the bounds, that's because regular singular points like the 0, 1, infinity of the hypergeometric are "real", mathematically. Then, most people's first non-standard function is the Dirac delta, an infinite spike at the origin with area one. Then figuring out how the infinitely many orders of acceleration arrive at smooth starting and stopping, is here considered with regards to "Zeno's swath", and "a stop-derivative, a walk-integral, a pause-integral, and a run-derivative". Also "Nessie's hump". So, implicits, definitely do have a physical concept attached, and force, is a function of time.
