If you look at dimensions as if they were coordinate axes in a geometry problem, then you already can see that the location of any point can be uniquely described by its coordinates, (x,y,z). However, a fourth coordinate can be employed to say when it was there. If the object is moving, then its (x,y,z) changes with time, and its position can be fully described by knowing (x,y,z,t).

I understand that. It is a simple differential equation. I was trying to apply the fax machine analogy to a quantum equation. If true teleportation was achieved there would be no A' thus the time factor ,wait ,I believe I understand now. The time dimension would not be the problem, the "fifth" dimension would. Wow, my brain hasn't worked this hard in a while.
