Spatiotemporality is a single perceptual manifold which has illicitly been abstracted, bifurcated and absolutized into "space" and "time" , just because vision and audition grasp aspects of the manifold's ambient information (communicated via matter/energy) differently (although still both spatiotemporally; in vision, the spatial aspect predominates, and in audition, the temporal, but the manifold is not two, but one through which data is grasped in two distinct ways by two differing perceptual modalities).
