    This is sort of like a simple bucket/radix sort but instead of using a space-based array, it's effectivly using a time-based "array"

Yep.

I wonder if you could generalise this to use time for any calculation, similar to how functional programming uses the stack for computation. A time-based language would be interesting. Useless, but interesting.
