>time not a dimension

Time is a dimension. We define "height, depth, width, and time" as dimensions, because they obey certain relationships to one another. And "dimensions" obey a certain relationship to "not dimensions". Simple as that.

>time is a function of the universe

That is a useless nonsensically philosophical circle jerk kind of a statement. It is meaningless. It could equally say "beer" is a function of the universe. It would be just as valid, meaningful, and insightful as your statement.

>Now you postulate this

I am just stating a fact. I didn't actually postulate that shit. This is known physics that was done ~100 years ago. We know that all of the supposed "conservation laws" are just the consequences of a certain types of inherit symmetries in a system.
