Fathomlessness, I guess I was thinking that if the 4th dimension was time then why would the dimensions beyond that have to be spacial. I always had a problem with believing that there where a bunch of other spatial dimensions in front of us, but they were "too small" to see. What made more sense to me is that higher dimensions are more complex, and that as you move up the dimensional ladder our ability to understand them diminishes exponentially. For instances time is the next higher level dimension, and it is barely comprehendible to us. We kind of get it and can somewhat use it, but we have no real ability to navigate through it. And just like a 3D object produces a 2D shadow in our 3D world, I thought maybe shadows of higher dimensional objects or activities are what we witness here in our dimensional plane. But of course the higher the dimensional plane, the more complex the shadow that is thrown. So perhaps things like gravity and quantum activities can be explained as the complex shadows of higher dimensional "stuff".Then for some reason I thought perhaps language could some how be something kind of physical (or our equivalent to physical) on a higher dimensional plane, and it plays out as it does here. I know pretty thin line of reasoning from an almost non existent understanding of the scientific theories around these things :lol:
