No, as I posted previously, your definition of space and time
interdependence is different than my understanding of space and time
interdependence. I've already explained to you my understanding, and it
is encapsulated in the 1905 paper, and repeated in the 1911 paper. I
maintain that Einstein did NOT propose a 4D universe where space and
time dimensions were interdependent, and where the existence of time
depends on the existence of space and vice versa.

If you maintain that he did, YOU come up with the reference where he
says so.
