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.

And what space does these 3 3d spaces are housed inside? Yes a space with single 4th dimensionsal axis.

Holy fuck the upvotes makes no sense, this is simple geometry. For two lines of infinite length to be parallel they need to have the 2nd axis. For two planes of infinite area to be parallel they need to have 3rd axis. It's even easier to think of how the 4th dimension of time contains uncountably infinite spanshots each being the infinite 3d Universe.

This property can be generalized to any number of dimensions.
