"would a universe with nonlinear time still be 4-dimensional?". I came across 2 definitions of nonlinear time:
1. Time is not divided into past, present and future. Everything happens at the same time, so there is only 1 moment (I think in this sense the universe should not be low 2c)
2.The progression of time is not uniform or predictable in the traditional sense, so it does not follow a linear sequence. That is, in linear time, events occur in chronological order, one after the other, without any deviation or change in the flow of time. But in a non-linear time frame, time can exhibit irregularities, loops or variations that deviate from the traditional linear order.(but I think this is still enough for the universe to be low 2c)
If we just know that time is non-linear without extra context which of these two should we use?
