Did you know the easiest way to do your laces up is one loop away, one towards and then swap them over in one movement?
We're in 3 and asleep in the fourth ... except sometime when we dream .

The 3rd is inanimate. The 'force of animation' could be considered the 4th

There's no 3 in the 3rd. Only a probability of having one which is what drives time. There's also no 4 in the 4th and so on. So we can expect time or animation in each of the dimensions.

Does this mean there are an infinite number of dimensions?

If you need a 4 and 2 for defining a 3, and then a 5 and 3 for defining a 4 (and so on), wouldn't it be necessary for there to be an infinite number of dimensions?

For example, if there are only 11 dimensions...
how could you define the 11th without a 12th?

Dunno. Has to be finite then I reckon. Which makes sense if you only smash perfection to tiny pieces instead of running every possibility.

My guess is, and it's only a guess, that it has something to do with the number of creatures in existence.

What strikes me odd are people like yourself who say that the idea of God is crazy but then grab onto theories about how life forms in the universe could have seeded life on earth.

Very strange.

These same people also have no trouble conceptualizing other dimensions and life forms that may be completely alien to us but have trouble believing in God because they cannot see or hear him.

The 12th is still 'forming'

How would one go about proving (or disproving) the belief of a disbelief?
By showing evidence to the contrary.

In order for a 12th to form there would need to be a 13th. But a 13th is defined by a 12th and 14th. And so on.

When we think of our 3 dimensions + time we are talking the ability to move, like move up/down, say call that dimension one, move left/right, call it dimension two, and forwards and backwards, call that dimension 3 and needing time as a dimension to allow movement at all, no time, no movement, without time, the universe is just one individual picture and adding time allows new pictures with slightly different movements to be recorded.

Does that jive with your understanding?

Thanks Sonhouse. I get the typical dimension view thing as the number of simultaneous aspects of an object one can observe. I just can't think of a use for it.

What if it's not a physical universe but a mental one. Would we still have dimensionality or would it be more likely entwined with perception and/or individualism?

You mean that they sell Sim Universes in Wall Marts in a higher dimension, simulating galaxies, solar systems, planets, you and me?
And the people playing this Sim Universe are not aware that they, in turn, is a simulation playing Sim Multiverse, who in turn...😲
