In short, we can only create intuitions that are based on 3D geometric objects. In short, what we call intuitive explanations are what satisfies our intuitive cognition. That is, a warm and fuzzy explanation that appeals to our own physical experience.

Not true! We can do at least 4D space (i.e. dims with rotational operators), and the tensor that we use to describe our perceptual content has hundreds of partially dependent dims (velocities and their first and second derivates, directions, colors, general distortions etc.).

3D spatial coordinates and orientation (people always forget the latter). Time is just simulated in spatial terms. It boils down to just a few relations (i.e. proximity, sequence, composition and distinguishability

I assume this means time is irrelevant to our experience in terms of what we deem intuitive?

There are plenty of known illusions that confuse our perception of time. Time is relevant in regards to learning, but our perception of it is likely through our mechanism of spatial cognition. What we can perceive are sequences. Deprived of our sensors, we can't experience time.

Are you sure it is not the other way around? Space is largely discovered by integrating differences in experience at different points in time? Information is about state change, as is the computation of models.

Space = states, variation = information, change = time. Time is a perception of change in any number of dimensions.

Time is global within every single frame of reference. (From a physical perspective, time is observed rate of change, relative to the rate of change in the observer, so it is relativistic.)

Time is observable only because of the existence of memory. In fact, time is only observable in the macro-scale due to entropic forces (in the direction of greater entropy).

Biological systems however are capable of evolving in a direction opposite the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. This implies that life must be able to anticipate behavior beyond that found in inanimate objects.

Yes, obviously. The market opportunity for life is that it can harvest negentropy gradients that require controlled chemical reactions, and control requires modeling.
