Good question. About the 11 dimensions, I'm quite certain that's a bit much, but it is a number close to ten and to twelve, so let's see how that should make it right. Isn't one dimension based on the empty center, making eleven? Ten is our decimal system, and I posted some on that at the 'An Idea' thread, and I would say the empty spot is part of the ten already. Twelve is clearly part of the hexagonal system (like 24 hours is), so my bet is that it should be twelve, but one of the strings may actually be the combination of two strings.
If not required to give a real meaning when using the word dimension, I can come up with 24 strings (or 25 if needed).
Vibration is like wave, and I would say that the experience is one-dimensional. If you were to consider it an old fashioned record player, the needle reads the divice as intended, but if you spin it backwards the needle reads the same information backwards, actually making it different. Required: needle, record, spin and back-spin. You as the listener can understand one version quite easily, the other way you have to get trained in backward listening to understand it, but why would you.
I do not call this more than one-dimensional, just a recording you can play two different ways (but also faster or slower).
