Earlier today i became curious about this hypothesis and in running basic searches for exact phrases such as "dimension itself is sentient" or "dimension is sentient" (as well as to my surprise "dimension is conscious" and "dimension is intelligent" ) ") i did not find any results for philosophical or scientific writings with those simple phrases.
Most of the results were from fictional works and environments for role-playing!
For now, i prefer the phrasing that this dimension is sentient! "conscious" implies something that may be too limited for an entire dimension (which can also be thought of as the combined set of all actual dimensions, a friend from another board said many years ago!) "intelligent" can seem to reference pseudoscience which, this hypothesis is made with the attempt to be the opposite of pseudoscientific.
That is to say: if this dimension is sentient, then persons from every scientific and scientifically-informed discipline, and all people who do learn from scientific inquiry, would benefit from knowing of this!
What comes to mind first for me is all of the examples that materials of this dimension have been capable of self-assembly into not just a few but nearly uncountable multifunctional, interrelated, wildly specialized and uniquely fluent presences. This correlates with the key concept (if not the equivalent of a thermodynamic law?) within quantum physics of an extant observing and, essentially, organizing capacity within perceivable dimensions.
What i am not postulating is that this dimension anthropically shapes all of these features by hand or directly guides the developments here, but rather that its sentience somehow has the exact causal properties required for a fully self-assembling dimension to have occurred!
This seemed to be one of the areas in which Terence, among others, was working and I don't think i've gotten any farther than them, but i had never thought of these specific words in sequence before and according to the search attempts, neither has he or any other similar students of life in reference to our actual dimension!
It seems well within the realm of possibility that a dimension itself, such as this one, can be sentient specifically when considering the raw materials (even just the ones we can comprehend) it has access to for the origins of its sentience, that is, the entire dimension!
