The 4 dimensions of space time are all curled in a way similar to the surface of a sphere were no point can be regarded as being any more central or on the edge than any other. So it makes no sense to think of time independent of the other dimensions.

No. Space is 3 dimensions: Width, Length and Height. Time is the 4th dimension.
The fifth dimension is time travel; one step forward past the fourth dimension. So, it's just like building up energy and moving from one place to another. It would look just as it sounds. But, I think time travel is a stupid idea. It creates two alternate universes. One is the unchanged world where you didn't travel and one where you did, creating ANOTHER dimension.
The four dimensions of Space Time are one real dimension r=ct and three vector dimensions Ix + Jy + Kz. All the dimensions have units of meters. The idea of a dimension of time is an historical artifact.
You almost correctly solved the problem of Space."Space" is three vectors dimension of space (ix +jy +kz) and one scalar dimension of space (r). Hamilton defined Quaternions in 1843. Einstein was correct in calling for a 4 dimesnional space, but Einstein's Spacetime is an incorrect 4 dimensional space both Physics-wise and mathematically.Einstein and others considered time an imaginary (vector) dimension ( it) and space three real dimensions (x,y,z). This is opposite to reality where space is quaternion with one real scalar dimension (r) and three vector dimensions (ix +jy+ kz). The real dimension r is related to time by r=ct where c is the speed of light.In summary Space is 4 dimensional and all dimensions are space one real space (r=ct) and three vector spaces (ix +jy +kz), just as you proposed,why can't time be also a distance?It can and it is called Quaternion Space.
The first dimension is primary (length). The second dimension is secondary (width). The third dimmension is tertiary (height). Those are the 3 basic spatial dimensions. The fourth dimension is time. The fifth dimension is the rotation of primary. The sixth dimension is the rotation of secondary (and primary). The seventh dimension is the rotation of tertiary (secondary and primary). The eighth dimension is the pulse of time. The ninth dimension is the energy radiation of primary. The tenth dimension is the energy radiation of secondary. The eleventh dimension is the energy radiation of tertiary. In total there are 10 spatial dimensions and 1 time dimension, in other words, 11 spacetime dimensions.
