• Dimensions

Time and space are dimensions.
	Dimensions: the extent to which anything persists or the degree to which something extends or is measured.
	X is the magnitude or extension of length.
	Y is the vertical extension.
	Z is distance perpendicular to the length and vertical extent.
Three dimensions of space-time.
area means the combined extent of any two dimensions.
volume means the compounded extent of any three dimensions.
What if "time" is yet another magnitude, or dimension of space?
