There are so many free will threads and I've discussed it so many times to death I'm trying to resort to defeating my opponents in debate by being extremely inappropriate.

Your inappropriateness toward my obvious wisdom regarding free will merely creates angry sex in the end.

Some things break apart over time, other things gain order over time and that is a 5d process.

It's really quite simple.

Yeah, 4D is just another movement through time. How can we define going "fowards" in time when we have only observed one form.
It's easiest to observe in a tree that is growing outwards in all directions, that is it's singular "forwards" directional motion of growth through time. It does not reverse directions.

Just like the earth does not reverse directions in orbit.

Time has specific trajectory.
