In the planar Cartesian coordinate system, "Y" (why, the homonym) is up.
In 3D, to include cylindrical coordinate systems, Z is the vertical axis, as OLB "pointed" out.

Arthur Dent wouldn’t know a probability axis from an African fjord.

I think it's Tau in the Heinlein books. I'd have to revisit that to be sure. Let me get on my irrelevancy bus and go check.

....
So he might not know the math - but he' s got a good idea what it looks like....
No, he’s got a good idea of what it
does.
