I puzzled over Euclidian dimensions for many years of my youth. It seemed a simple progression of logic that there should exist more dimensions than 3 in our world, but surely we weren’t aware of them. I tried for many years to picture the 4th dimension… If the 1st dimension is a line, made of points, and then the 2nd dimension is a plane, made of lines, and the 3rd dimension is a cube, made of planes, then I figured whatever the 4th was, it must be made of cubes. As simple as it sounded, it proved rather difficult to picture space as being made from 3D spaces. Stephen Hawking finally gave me a hint, when I read he believed the 4th dimension to be time. This made sense… a series of 3D experiences, strung together through time, were 4th dimensional. Then it struck me… a series of timelines, strung together, was an aspect of a system in which many variables could simultaneously exist… the 5th dimension was chaos. Later, the pieces of the puzzle fell together for me, and it became clear how all these aspects of the universe, or of individual parts, fit together as the dimensions of a whole. In brief summary, this is what I believe these dimensions to be:

1st Dimension: Value (Connections, successful or not, positive or negative.)

2nd Dimension: Information (Like the pixels of a picture, bits of positive or negative value strung together)

3rd Dimension: Experience (The wholeness of a moment, the “greater picture” of a single moment)

4th Dimension: Time (A series of moments, passing from present to past)

5th Dimension: Chaos (Multiple variables in time creating effects, a jumble of many paths, the overwhelming sense of life itself)

Each dimension is an aspect of matter, and is “made up of” parts of lower dimensions. A chart going into more detail can be found here:
