It’s 3 AM and I’m thinking about time as the 4th dimension

We understand time as a dimension

What if the physical way to represent the 4th dimension (time) is the same way video data on a computer works, in frames (FPS). Each indescribable and/or immeasurable instance in time a new frame of an object or person is created. Almost creating a “snake” or trail of frames of said person or object, but since we can only physically perceive three dimensions (obviously) we can’t see time we are able to move freely throughout those frames. Maybe that’s what “motion blur” is? Our brains perceive the most fractional iota of what the 4 dimension could look like
