Time would be a 4th dimension not yet realized. For now it's duration.
No. Time is the forth dimension. The dimensions are X, Y, Z, and T. There are four dimensions in the observable universe.

Time is more relative to motion than dimension. Time may exist outside of this x,y,z universe who knows.

You and me are different ages but we are aging universally the same.
Are you capable of anything other than double talk?
Whaddya think aging implies if it isn't the passage of time?

Time has to be real for aging to make any sense (or be a consequence) whatsoever .. but you specifically said: 'Time would be a 4th dimension not yet realized.'

You are soo terribly mixed up in snappy, but completely meaningless semantic double talk, your footer should just read: *IGNORE Me* ..

Stillness is timeless unless a force disrupts the still. Then time begins until stillness and timeless.

Oh yeah? Define what you mean by 'motion', without invoking the time dimension of the universe model.
There is no 'outside of this x,y,z universe'.

Pfftt!
Same something useful .. (or say nothing at all!)
Nothing is completely stationary except in idealized case models, where the intended audience already understands and accepts the idealisation.

Without forces in the universe there's no time.

Time can be choice and wording, humans choose or use what to call a day.

If people start living on Mars the time will change for them as far as what they use to keep calendars or other space time calculations. A mechanical clock from Earth on Mars would be off or changing it frequently.

You don't know that aging is a passage of time?

Organs in the body moving don't last forever.
Biological aging is explained by the loss of functional characteristics in living organisms.
Telomere damage, epigenetic dysregulation, DNA damage, and mitochondrial dysfunction are primary drivers of damage which induces biological aging.
