I'm afraid I could never understand what Savvy meant by his higher order time dimensions. As you know, my view of time has been expressed in that piece "The Nature of Time" in the Journal of Theoretics. However, if higher order time means a very short cycle time then certainly, "jounce" and above probably do take place in higher order time dimensions. Indeed, if you think about the 7 order gyro, then the highest orders are going to be capable of the highest rotation speed without flying apart so your suggestion is almost implicitly in the model.
