Zandarian Lexicon Entry: Metric Dimensions

Metric Dimensions must be ordered by expansion along sequential perpendicular axes and must be useful for measuring objects and spaces with a simplex that can be clearly described and perceived by the observer.

The following is our list of Metric Dimensions with the format: Number and Name of the dimension; Simplex, the simplest planar shape that can be drawn with the dimension; Graph, the most basic straight line graph that can be utilized to measure with the dimension; Object, the most basic form that a measurement can be taken with while utilizing the dimension; and Projection, the most basic form in which a measurement can be re-applied to the real world after calculations. Projections may also represent the formation of thoughts after conscious or subconscious consideration.

0MD Origin
  • Simplex: point
  • Graph: empty
  • Object: A single point of reference for higher dimensional measurement
  • Projection: void
1MD Length
  • Simplex: line
  • Graph: ruled line
  • Object: A line originating from one point or connecting two points
  • Projection: curve
2MD Width
  • Simplex: triangle
  • Graph: flat grid with perpendicular x and y ruled lines
  • Object: three or more lines exclusively connecting three or more points
  • Projection: surface map or flat image
3MD Depth
  • Simplex: pyramid
  • Graph: cubic grid with perpendicular x, y and z ruled lines
  • Object: six or more lines exclusively connecting four or more points
  • Projection: constrained planar solid
4MD Spin
  • Simplex: cone
  • Graph: 3MD graph with an axis of rotation with degrees
  • Object: 3MD object rotated and traced into a solid
  • Projection: constrained rotated solid
  • *Note: the consideration for the simplex of a cone is based on absolute application of spin without interval. Inclusion of intervals along with extension of the first three metric dimensions may produce other shapes such as spiral grooved cylinders, screws and gears among other useful shapes.
5MD Flip
  • Simplex: sphere
  • Graph: 3MD graph with a perpendicular pair of axes of rotation with respective degrees
  • Object: 4MD object rotated along an axis perpendicular to the 4MD and traced into a solid
  • Projection: constrained solid with definable rotation along two axes
  • *Note: the consideration for the simplex of a sphere is based on absolute application of spin and flip simultaneously without interval. Inclusion of intervals may produce other shapes such as wheels, pulleys and spiked orbs among other useful shapes
6MD Pivot
  • Simplex: orb of potential position
  • Graph: 5MD graph with an axis of pivot tangent to the object across which the object may swing
  • Object: 5MD object with extensions of possible swing from pivot points traced into zones of potentialities
  • Projection: 5MD projection with conceptualized aura of influence—within a gravitational field, this is where the object may fall without rolling or sliding
7MD Strike
  • Simplex: orb of potential expression on possible tangent points of impact
  • Graph: 6MD graph with a tangent axis point of transfer of calculable force across which a mirror of the object may impact
  • Object: 6MD object with extensions of possible impacts traced into zones of potential striking
  • Projection: 6MD projection with secondary aura of impact potentials
8MD Force
  • Simplex: straight path of 7MD simplex through empty zone
  • Graph: 7MD graph with ruled distance intervals and direction relative to origin
  • Object: 7MD object with paths of travel traced into zones of potential motion
  • Projection: 7MD projection with the motion of the origin point mapped into auras of potential movement
9MD Collision
  • Simplex: instance of impact of object with a mirrored identity through a common zone
  • Graph: 8MD graph with duplicated and mirrored dimensions for a second object
  • Object: 8MD object duplicated, mirrored and traced into zones of potential mutual impact
  • Projection: 8MD projection duplicated and mirrored
10MD Interaction
  • Simplex: instance of impacts of the object with multiple non-identities through a common zone
  • Graph: 9MD graph with multiplied and distributed dimensions for myriad objects
  • Object: 9MD object multiplied, distributed and traced into zones of potential impacts
  • Projection: 9MD projection multiplied and distributed
11MD Actualization
  • Simplex: multiple instances of impacts of the object with non-identities through a common zone
  • Graph: multiple 10MD graphs overlaid and highlighting commonalities
  • Object: multiple 10MD objects overlaid and traced into highlighted zones of most common potential interactions
  • Projection: multiple 10MD projections overlaid and trimmed down to most common potential interactions and retaining auras of less common potential interactions
12MD Snap
  • Simplex: snapshot of actualization with uncommon instances trimmed away
  • Graph: 11MD graph sliced and separated into complete sets of commonalities of potential actualizations
  • Object: 11MD object realized into only complete commonalities and assigned instance markers for interval
  • Projection: a complete slice of an 11MD projection with solidified and actualized interactions
13MD Time
  • Simplex: a moment mapping one snap to the next
  • Graph: 12MD graphs aligned sequentially
  • Object: 12MD object animated
  • Projection: real object motion.
  • *Note: This is our basic understanding of classical dimensional time.

we will leave it up to others to speculate

This list is not the only set of metric dimensions possible within the considerations of our method of dimensioning. It is merely our recommendation for a more useful and complete consideration of metric time, to take the place of the current existential crisis fodder. Ultimately, the projections represent our understanding of the functions of the brain when performing skilled tasks such as sculpting, cooking, sports and driving, among many others. We wanted to bring attention to the idea that the potentials and possibilities are not higher orders of organization but are instead the foundation, framework and scaffolding upon which functional reality is built. Real time is a higher order of dimensional organization than the potentials, not the other way around. Reality is not collapsing into what it is from higher potentials, instead the potentials are building up into reality.
