Would “Multiple passages of time” in an already 4-D cosmology be 5-D?

The title says it all

I feel like OP doesn't really give us enough information. In what way is the cosmology 4D? 4 dimensions of space or 3 dimensions of space and 1 of time?

What exactly does multiple passages of time mean here? If it simply means multiple timelines or a single branched timeline exists then yes and no. Such a cosmology would be 5D but without further information the wiki would (I believe?) consider it insignificant 5D.

So 5D but not low 1-C

Ok, the verse has a 4-D spacetime but there is a statement saying that the verse has “multiple passages of time” I was wanting input as to weather it would be another dimension of time or just different timelines.

Is there really no further context?

As far as I know it could either mean there are multiple timelines or that there are multiple dimensions of time. But without any further context the multiple timeline interpretation seems more likely

Okay, it was from an interview with a Kirby developer talking about Return to Dreamland. There is no other context. There is a translated scan in the blog on the verse page justifying 2-C, you can look at it there if you want

I think its likely just referring to the flow of time; and no, the statement produces the following scenarios:

• The same space-time has different flows of time at different places; In this case, it is still not anything higher than regular 4D since even our universe has different time flow near huge bodies like black holes as compared to near smaller bodies due to gravity
• Different space-times can have different flows of time compared to one another, however, that still does not indicate the existence of 5D, its just multiple 4Ds
