Section 7:

The Geometry of Life

 

Although it is perhaps not usual for physical theories – even ‘theories of everything’ – to venture into the realms of life and consciousness, a framework appears with the introduction of the ‘dimensional axis’ which facilitates this without disturbing a consistent adherence to the principles of Flatland.  With our collective dimensional viewpoint at the level of the 4th Dimension – experienced by us all as currently stacking – the principles of Flatland themselves explain why looking upward within the structure is necessarily less precise and immeasurably more complex than looking down.

​

Simply by extrapolating the Flatlander’s perception, there appears a geometrical link between space-time and phenomena associated with consciousness.  Five evidences for a Flatland-based dimensional structure of life are presented:

​

1. The ‘central viewpoint triad’

2. The ‘dimensional axis’

3. The ‘humansphere’

4. The ‘lifetime of the universe’

5. Newton’s ‘Great Animall’

 

A discussion follows on the number, nature and boundaries of those dimensions which comprise life, wherein I present my ideas on the 5th, 6th and 7th Dimensions, defining with a fair degree of precision (given the notoriously nebulous nature of the subject matter!) where and how these apply.
