Three Dimensions of Time

While the constructors of 4-Dimensional Space-Time seem satisfied with a concept of Time as 1-Dimensional, it can be easily expanded to 3 analogous to those of Space.  First, what is generally termed 'Time' is, more precisely, Time-Lapse, analogous to Spatial Length. Second, Time Width is Simultaneity.  Third, Time Depth is Retention.  Also, corresponding to the 0-Dimensional Point is the Instant.  Now, not entailed in the analogy, and possibly precluded by it, is any contiguity between Space and Time.  But, if given one, one challenge to the concept of Space-Time as 4-Dimensional is, therefore, that it is arbitrarily abstracted from a 6-Dimensional concept.
