Spacetime is elegant and fun in some ways, but boy it sure does seem to be kinda wrong, huh? The idea of treating time as a spatial dimension makes for some interesting thought experiments (if you consider time a spatial dimension then you are part of a several billion year long branching tree stretching back in time all the way to the first common ancestor single cell and every creature to have lived in your chain of ancestry is touching like some kind of hyperspace hands across America).
But yeah, treating time as something akin to space in that way kind of ignores its pretty obvious expression as a consequence of causality kind of playing out, in the same way that Zeno shot an arrow at Euclid that he never recovered from (infinitely divisible space makes way less sense than space being a result of networked processing nodes of some sort, Wolfram has a pretty strong contender for describing that).
I spent years asking every physicist I met what distance was and why some things were further away from things than other things and they mostly just got annoyed, Wolfram is the first one to incidentally offer an answer to that question while also answering a whole lot of other questions, just by showing us how to better think about them.
