Dimensions and Space-Time question

[Thanganimator]

Could a 3D creature lack the space-time aspect? Because I mean, Dimension is space and time (3+1 dimensions) so a 3D creature can't lack Space-Time, right?
To put it more simply, my question is that Dimension = Space-Time, so a 3D character cannot lacks Space-Time aspect if it claims to be 3D.

No. I think a 3D creature (or character) can lack a full "space-time aspect" in the sense relevant to VS Battles Wiki tiering and abilities, even if it is described as 3-dimensional. The common assumption that "Dimension = Space-Time" (with 3D automatically meaning 3 spatial dimensions + 1 temporal dimension as an inseparable 4D continuum) is an oversimplification that does not always hold in fiction or on VSBW standards.

In real physics (Einstein's relativity): Space and time are unified into spacetime (a 4-dimensional manifold: 3 spatial coordinates + 1 time coordinate). A "3D creature" in everyday language lives in 3 spatial dimensions and experiences the flow of time along the fourth coordinate. We can't separate them cleanly events have both position and timestamp. A purely spatial 3D object without any temporal extension would be a static "snapshot" with no duration.

In fiction and power-scaling: "3D" most often refers to spatial dimensionality (length, width, height). Time is treated as an additional axis or dimension that may or may not be bundled with it. VSBW explicitly distinguishes:

3-dimensional space: Pure spatial volume (can be finite or infinite). Destroying/creating/affecting this (even infinite 3D space) is generally 3-A (Universe level) or High 3-A (if infinite in 3D extent), without involving the temporal component.

Space-time continuum (or 4D structure): The full integration of 3D space across all moments of time (past, present, future snapshots). This is uncountably infinitely larger than any single 3D moment because it includes the entire timeline. Affecting the whole thing qualifies for Low 2-C (Universe level+).

The equation "Dimension = Space-Time" is not a strict rule. A structure or being can be called "3D" while operating in a realm that lacks a conventional time flow, or where time is not part of its intrinsic "dimensionality."
