In spacetime what is the time t$t$ on the ct$ct$ axis?

In spacetime, I understand that we multiply time by the speed of light to deal with homogeneous distances over the four axis, space and time.

But what does t$t$ refers to precisely? Where is t$t$ measured?

Is t$t$ a property of the observer linked to the reference system, in other words, the time as measured by a clock linked to the observer?

Should this time t$t$ be considered universal time?
