DIMENSIONS AND COORDINATES

The term dimension is equivocal because it refers to:
- The direction in which space is projected and the direction that time follows. 
- The importance or scope that an event can get.
- The magnitude that defines a physical phenomenon.

The term coordinate is univocal because it refers only to the line that serves to determine the position of a point, and (axis or plane) to which it refers. 

Some mathematicians make get dimensions to 12, but there are three spatial coordinates and time coordinate is one. Note that the space is projected in three directions and time follows one direction (historical or sequential) and one way (before-after). Becoming and all time units pass sequentially.
