- seaish 7y agoIt's fundamentally 1D, with the vertical dimension used to illustrate how it evolves over time.
- pubby 7y agoThe universe is 1D. When you plot the universe over time you get a 2D image.

One row "becomes" the row below it. Each time-step iteration adds a row to the bottom, while the rows above it are immutable (because they are in the past)."
