Nope... Not seeing it.
The dots for the systems are all the same size, which fails to give the map the appearance of a Z axis.

TIMECUBE IS GOD, YOU IGNORE THREE OF FOUR DAYS SUPPORT TIMECUBE OR BE CURSED.
But no yeah that is pretty mindblowing.

Now just do the same thing but in 4D (including time and show the systems orbiting or whatever)

Just need to look at it properly rather than it being too big for your screen.

Now that is cool.
So Liberty isn't in the centre of Sirius after all.

Is this actually using the relative positions of systems based on the starspheres? If you compare the backgrounds of the vanilla systems you'll see the original devs actually put a lot of thought into the layout of Sirius. It's something that has always fascinated me.

If that's the case then that would be awesome!

Evidently it isn't done that way - the Starspheres indicate a roughly flat layout. OP has an interesting concept, though.
