I know you meant future past and present, I what I meant is that all those three terms are not a dimension, but an extension within a dimension. Time as we see it now is a dimension, it has (as all individual dimensions) two degrees of freedom, those are past and future. Static doesn't really exist for it would be no time. Now the three dimensions of time I hypothesized are three which look the same to consciousness, that is why it chooses the most obvious. I mean, there are sort of three ''past-present-future' dimensions, each with the three terms. Just like space, each of the three dimensions of space has 2 degrees of freedom.
