I've wrestled with this several times myself (pun intended). How about a "moment" in t/s and a "location" in s/t? This word is fairly simple and one that we are used to associating with time. It also has, to me at least, the advantage of pulling together the time and space elements, since I'm used to thinking of the moment as having aspects of both.
The reason I tried to find a completely new word, was that 3D time in t/s must be something totally different from our experience in space and time. Using a new word would avoid associations with s/t concepts.
AFAIK a single point in 3D time might be one of a very large amount of possibilities in past and future.
My vote:
- Back to the basics of RTS - the photon, the atom and building of molecules from "Nothing but Motion"
but I'm curious about the other two too.
