I believe what you are referring to is entropy. The doom of the universe!

I appluade you stretching your thinking into this area. It is something that does not receive enough attention in this world of theories and guesses.
Although your logic is mostly sound, there you made a fundamental assumption that is actually false: time is not a dimension.
I know it has been a common belief in the 20th and 21st century but by definition a dimension is measurable. Time can only be "measured" in terms of both particles and space. For example, a year and its divisions are based upon a specific group of particles moving through a specific space. This applies to the more modern atomic means of time measurement as well.
Without going into too much technical detail, time is a decision that space and particles will persist.
I understand it is a popular idea that there are 12 dimensions (or some other number) in this universe but there are only three, height width, and length. Trying to prove otherwise is a fruitless pursuit. That's why studies which pertain to those "extra" dimensions tend to spin and spin without producing any real results.
I am aware there are those that like to peg there intelligence upon understanding theories which pertain to these studies, however, do not take my clarification as a consideration that your intention is bad. This universe is composed of supreme trickery and making mistakes is inherent in it.
I wish you success in your future exploration of the fundamentals of this universe. Always bare in mind that many of today's facts are sure to be tomorrow's historic misunderstandings.
Truthfully,
Shane

Time loops back in on itself, so there was really no "first." If you look into the night sky, you're actually looking back in time, and the farther back you look, the smaller the universe gets, because it's been expanding since the "beginning." So the farther "out" you go, the closer to the center you get, until you reach a singularity point that once again expands "outward." From a hypothetical outside, it would look like a donut with a tiny point for a hole.
And there are several other dimensions that work pretty much the same way. Reality is not what it appears to be. Cause and effect are a small scale illusion. In the real universe, the past is the future, and vice versa.

How about they all came at once....
Also I would not try to number them in order like you have, it is currently unknown which- if any- dimensions came first, it is likely all four came into being at once after either bubble nucleation or the fractal remnant of clashing membranes.

You should research M-Theory and hyperspace or "The Bulk" as well as "bubble nucleation"....
