i agree, time is probably the first dimension, and as i mentioned, it's split into forward and backward to achieve the zero sum that is required for breaking infinity
first there is infinity, aka zero, and then infinity becomes 1, and one becomes 2, and two becomes three, and three begets all things, to misquote the Tao Te Ching
the text of the first chapter of Genesis also hints towards this idea and it is remarkably similar to what is written in the beginning of the book Corpus Hermeticum by Hermes Trimagestus
first you divide the mass from the space, then you divide night from day, so probably actually time is the second dimension, and 1 dimension (a circle) of matter is the first dimension, because you have something and nothing, and then nothing becomes something
this is the meaning of the Tai Chi of taoism also, it represents the first two dimensions and it's made out of a three bit number mathematically, like how you use 3 coins to throw the I Ching, which gives you a 2d space that changes in the third, each "bit" representing the current state and the third bit indicating which direction it is changing, they call them "young yin" and "old yin" and "young yang" and "old yang"
