Due to controversy on this issue, the following resource is available.

(George Berkeley, 1710) ... lay the beginning in a distinct explication of what is meant by thing, reality, existence: for in vain shall we dispute concerning the real existence of things, or pretend to any knowledge thereof, so long as we have not fixed the meaning of those words.

Hi RP;

I like the physics definition and the one I used for my Idea.

5. Physics A physical property, such as mass, length, time, or a combination thereof, regarded as a fundamental measure or as one of a set of fundamental measures of a physical quantity: Velocity has the dimensions of length divided by time.


Best to you,

Pat

I was immediatly reminded of a conversation with a flat mate who was arguing against the viability of object oriented programming. He argued that color for example is an attribute of an object and thus not the thing itself, not real. As follows then perception is an attribute of a particular dimension and not viable. Space, time and thier measures although seemingly the fabric of dimension can be reduced to tools of understanding and one has only to ask what is not a tool? to explore new dimensions.

If physics is the science of the dimensional world then meta-physics is the art of the abstract. It is here between the two that common references to dimension loose thier value but not thier significance.

Thanks for letting me take a stab at this.
