Variance does not have to necessarily entail the existence of a separation of ‘background’ and ‘foreground’ substance. It is possible to have a single substance, which, due to dimensionally-symmetrical disturbances (which keep space at a local constant density) can cause higher level representations of those disturbances (ie. particles) to appear to ‘move’.
A perception of time does not foreclose on monism either. Time is a measure of when, not a physical thing that can be stretched or compressed. Hence, there is no disagreement with the axiom when we say that time is not made of substance.
It could be argued that this is part of the original axiom, but honestly, you are correct in saying that it is not insinuated by my original claim. So I’ll say that this is maybe a secondary axiom, but conceptually linked to the main one.
