I only believe in 3D and in 2D. 3D is the world we can experience, 2D is the artful representations we make. A movie for instance delivers a 2D representation of 3D; it isn't real but it is real in a fake sense. So 3D exists, but 2D exists as well as part of our 3D world. People can get lost inside a book, a movie, an idea; it is quite easy and sometimes it is really wonderful to get lost in one of these mediums of entertainment. Sometimes people get lost forever in ideas that do not exist. Religion is one big example where generations of people believe in something that is not even out there, but they make it real by recreating their ideas in the way we build, write, speak, and think; they made it real. Beautiful buildings, artifacts, philosophies were created because of the possibility of 2D within 3D. Our world has moved away from being a singular natural world into a natural world that now contains a lot of
art as well. Some may call it enriching, others may call it polluted. The reasons people may look for multiple dimensions is according to me because they are searching for answers in the 2D world, which means they think the 2D world is somehow real all by itself.
For me the idea of 3D is only that, an idea. It is possible to make dimensions be fields, not directions, and then only 2 fields are required to deliver a full, comprehensive dimensional image. In that case only 2FD and 1FD would be in existence, and directions would then come in 2 pairs. 2FD would stand for the world we can experience, while 1FD stands for the fake additions that are nevertheless additions to the 2FD world. When looking for a 1FD-answer people get lost or have to make use of a belief system to maintain the 1FD idea. When looking for a 2FD-answer most people do not get lost at all.
I only have two eyes, not three, so I tend to go with dimensions being fields, not directions, because two would then simply be all it takes.
