Four dimensions, actually, including time.would you not then need 5 or 6 dimensions if you include time so as to have a beginning and ending element in your field set other (x, y, z, t0, time_start, time_end).
Thankfully linear algebra doesn't care about the number of dimensions in the so the whole premise of the question is probably wrong.

If you look at it that way, in order to measure something, there must be a beginning and endpoint to each directional axis: (x1-x2), (y1-y2), (z1-z2), (t1-t2). That does not introduce extra dimensions, but only blocks off sections of essentially infinite properties.
