I would argue that time is not a dimension but a vector that can only be traveled in one direction.

I agree I don't believe in change, it's an illusion. Rather, there are only successions of causally-linked immutable values, and time is derived from the perception of these successions.

Causally-linked means the future is a function of the past; life applies reality to us to derive a new immutable us and we assign identity to these chains of values, and perceive change where there is none.

Reality as we know it. You can move beyond that and also argue that all 3 dimensions + 1 (time) are ‘illusions’ only on a *physical plane*. Physical Plane or World is the independent variable. Who is to say with any certainty there are or will be 3 dimensions and a concept of time once we depart the physical world? We may well be able to move back and forth “in time” too.
