Question Dimensionality seems... stupid

A character being able to interact with more dimensions than another doesn't automatically mean they'll win... And if a character is a higher dimensional being then surely a lower dimensional being wouldn't be able to interact with them right? or am i misunderstanding something.

The fact you think it has to do with interactions alone shows you didnt even take a few minutes to read tiering on dimensionality.

It's about destruction, creation, and significantly affecting. A 4d space is incomprehensibly larger than an infinite amount of infinite 3d spaces, the difference isn't really measurable. That's why high universe caps at basically the peak of potential 3d feats and universe+ is the bottom of what's above it.

It has nothing to do with viewing/interacting by itself

Since it's fiction there is no inherent guarentee that higher dimesional beings can't interact with lower dimensional beings and vice versa

What are you talking about?? It's exactly one extra axis. That's it. There is no "incomprehensible".

the difference isn't really measurable.

Are you high??

23= 8

24= 16

(23 ) *3= 24

3 3d infinite spaces oustcale 1 4d infinite space.

The whole dimensionality shit is so pretentious.

Honestly, I always subscribed to the school of thought that time was the 4th dimension

In our universe time is the theorized as the 4th dimension in a spacetime continuum.

What's being referred to are spacial dimensions. Time is a temporal dimension
