The Uncanny Valley describes the eery feeling when I look at a shambling mound of individual cells that have lumped together into a humanoid form and execute a crude cellular automaton on dedicated chemo electrical cells that animate it and pretend to itself that it's conscious
In our mind, space and time are represented as independent dimensions: you cannot mentally rotate between space and time. However, we can probably go to ~4D in general, without nesting.

In the brain, as in computers, space and time are interchangable to some extent, as they are just dimensions. Dimensions are abstract variables: changes from point A to point B.

No, they really are not. Rotations between space and time are only defined in relativistic physics (which our brains don't use to represent our environment) and even there, the behavior of the temporal dimension is different to space.
