Jeepers, what a magnificient essay, betty boop! Thank you!
We must bear in mind that every experiment of Nature, that is, every living being, every living organism, represents the expression of cosmic laws, a complex symbol or a complex hieroglyph. (P. D. Ouspensky, A New Model of the Universe, 1961). The terms symbol and hieroglyph seem to refer to the particular informational complexes that specify particular existents, perhaps to mathematical objects shaped by the geometries of cosmic law itself which specify the essence or nature of particular living things. Which is a concept at least 2,500 years old.Plato said that the Cosmos was One living being, and that man was the microcosm the reflection and recapitulation of the total Cosmos the ultimate part which contains the ultimate whole within itself.
Plato's insight staggers the imagination. As does yours for me, betty boop. It seems that it has been almost a year now since you first speculated about an extra time dimension. That thought rang true to my Spirit and so I continued to research it and was thrilled to discover it would resolve a number of deep issues still on the table for Physics. Now you have raised yet another possibility which is ringing true and will surely spur yet another round of research! The first part (from the above excerpt) is a transformation from an information construct as an existent to its mathematical construct expressed as a geometry specific to its nature or essence. The second part is "information, intelligence and consciousness" as the generative factor which manifests those existents as or in 4D:
The space-time categories which are normative for us allow us to see the physical part, but not the informational part, the intelligence part, the consciousness part, of what is going on in the entire Universe in all its parts. It seems to me consciousness, intelligence, information being immaterial ought to be referred to the category of Spirit, which arguably is the ultimate energy source (working through the physics of the primary universal vacuum or zero-point field???) that prompts the emergence of the holograph we call Reality by means of waveform interference, from whence actionable information is transmitted to and intelligently used by living beings in the world. In this manner, mere matter is drawn into life, is drawn into relation with All that Is, into Lifes goals and purposes, as Part resonating to Whole. For at some deep level of reality, part and whole are tuned into the same cosmic wavelength.
I'm still meditating on this and hope to soon find the first step to begin researching. Again thank you so very much for all your wonderful insight and challenges! And thank you for all the personal encouragements, too!

Alamo-Girl, thank you so much for your kind words! I thought for sure my citation attributed to Hermes Trismegistus would set off alarm bells all over the place! Not a peep so far!!! I just had to include it, for it is a most striking insight, and seemingly a truthful one.
