Default nonexistence of time

I'm not sure what false-to-fact means.

Yes, I can explain an experiment here that will yield 3 observed
cartesian dimensions of space. Here goes:

Clear out a room with perpendicular walls, floor and ceiling.
Pick one corner and call it the corner.
Mark a point along each vertex from the corner(i.e. left
floor-to-wall, right floor-to-wall, left-wall-to-right-wall). Call
these vertices x, y, and z respectively.
Measure these distances from the corner with a tape measure. Call them
X, Y, and Z.
Now take three large framing squares and wedge them into the vertices
such that as they are swung they trace out a plane normal to their
repective vertices. You will find that the three of these tools
intersect in only one small region. This region is a spatial position.

Refine these tools to improve your accuracy and freedom. The region
becomes a point.

When these operations are performed backwards any point P you choose
in the room will be adequately defined in terms of specific distances
X, Y, and Z.

Any attempt to reduce the number of dimensions will fail.
There is no need to add any more dimensions.
There really is something special about the system of three
dimensional cartesian space and it must be of vital importance to the
properties of reality.

I guess that you probably understand this very well but I answer this
question in order to defend my position.

Sincerely,
Tim

Time and 3D space are taken as axioms in classical physics. Now people
try to think in unified terms,

Unified is good. False-to-fact is not.
You can observe 3 spacial dimentions? You are a very special lad if
you can observe 3 dimentions. Can you show them to me?

Adding more on top of false-to-fact premisses will not help.
