You can always choose \( ct=1 \) and drop dimensionality. For me, it helps to understand math by "imagining" \( I \) as continuos imaginary time that has certain relationships with other numbers which also might have physical interpretations. It might not work always, but also its not forbidden to use such analogy for certain dynamic understanding of mathematics, I guess.
