9D STC Theory

In this article, I will theorize a new framework for counting immediate reality dimensions. Other theories about potential dimensions I intend on coming up with in later articles. In this one, lifeless matter has 6 dimensions and living beings have 9. STC stands for "Space-Time and Consciousness," in case you were wondering.

Physics has established a standard dimensional framework of 3d of space and 1d of time in our reality. 

The space part makes sense. But only one dimension of time? In that case, 3d space should only count as 1d. In order for time to pervade all of 3d space, it should be classified as 3d time. 1d is just a straight line, which makes sense if time is just an abstract concept. It flows in a straight line, with the future going forward and the past going backward. But in physics, it is a real, dynamic property, part of the fabric of the universe known as spacetime. This pervades all matter, including all "empty" space in each atom. In this physical case, it would have to be available in all directions in order to pervade the 3d universe fabric. It goes in random with space, only a different, more fascinating dimension.

Before I move on, I will say that there are different ways to frame the number of dimensions and no way is the only right way to do it. 

So far in this proposed framework, there are 6 dimensions: 3 spacial, 3 time dimension. I think it is safe to say that all matter is affected by all 6 of those. But only living beings possess my next set of theorized dimensions: consciousness.

Consciousness gives us the 3 dimensions needed to interact with all the other ones. It is something completely distinguished from all other matter, yet interactive just like time, except, of course in a different way. I will call it the life dimension. 

Why 3d and not just 1d for consciousness? For the same reason that time should be said to be 3d. If your consciousness was only "1d," it would only be able to see and comprehend in a straight line, like looking through a narrow tube. Widen the line if that tube, and you can see a flat plane (2d). Take it away completely and you would see as most people do: up, down, straight, and sideways (3d). If your brain was only 2d-caliber at processing information, a 3d world of space would be difficult to imagine. 

How does this tie in with time travel? Well, the way we perceive time itself. Rather than having the mentality of a straight line, time should be thought of as warp-able, dynamic force built into the cosmic, natural time machine known as spacetime
