Time is included in the SpaceTime model as if it were a physical dimension of space.

If this is true, then all actions and all change will be encompassed by this 4-D hyperspace. There cannot be any change outside of this hyperspace, since change would require time - which is already accounted for in the 4-D model.

Does not this imply that all past and future events are immutable - since there cannot be any change to SpaceTime?

We could be in the situation of not being able to determine the spacetime positions of all objects, however the model would seem to imply that this is a consequence of our lack of understanding, since the model encompasses all actions and events.
