What's the deal with decimal dimensions?

[Peptocoptr27]

Apparently, it's possible for an object to be 4.5 dimensional or 6.8D or whatever amount of decimals you want to add to the number of dimensional coordinates that you want.
1: Is this something that's actually accounted for in any way in the Tiering System?
2: If so, how does it work?
3: How can a verse become something like 4.5D and how does it compare to 4D levels of power in this case?

 

[Confluctor]

I don't know how exactly it works, but yeah it seems to be a thing. Like marvel low 1-Cs are accepted as 6.6D apparently.

 

[Peptocoptr27]

Are they infinitely superior to 6D beings?

 

[Confluctor]

No, which is why it's confusing/extremely complicated.

I don't even know where 6d comes from. Just put them at 11d smh

“The word “dimension” is not as well defined as you might think. A bit like the word “number” in mathematics.

In Physics a dimension typically refers to an independent variable in a Phase space. Regular space is three-dimensional because it takes three independent variables to specify the location – the equivalent of:

• Width, Depth, and Height; or
• Latitude, Longitude, and Radius.

Far more complex phase spaces exist in mathematical models used in physics. A simple example is the nine-dimensional first order model of a plane in flight:

• Three dimensions for location;
• Three dimensions for velocity; and
• Three dimensions for Pitch, Roll, and Yaw.

The general public get confused by a very famous four-dimensional model used by General Relativity that incorporated time as a fourth dimension in space-time. In particular they like to (mistakenly) refer to time as the fourth dimension.

Could there [be] a dimension between the 3rd and the fourth?

It’s not at all clear what you mean by “between”. Is there anything between the first and second dimension? Between a line and a square? I am not sure this makes sense in physics, although you might like to consider how long the coast of Britain is…
The length of the coast of any island depends on the length of your measuring stick and how exactly you do the measuring. Coastlines are actually fractal in nature and have a Fractal dimension. This dimension can be fractional and its value depends on precisely how you define it.
The coast of Britain is therefore an example of something “between” one-dimensional and two-dimensional. Such entities can easily be mathematically created in phase spaces of any number of dimensions. I am not aware of any simple examples specifically having between three and four dimensions.”

This is from a quora’s response anyway: https://www.quora.com/Can-dimensions-have-decimal-values

From what I understand, fractal dimensions refer to what percentage of space an object fills within the area around some section of it, so it’s not actually useful for the tiering system where we’re only really interested in infinite sized objects or things that have their power through a statement and not just size.
Also, not necessarily an answer to the question but might make something click more clearly, an object with x.y fractal dimensions has x Euclidean/topological dimensions, so a 6.6 dimensional object is also a 6 dimensional object.

So fractal/decimal dimensions have no impact on the tiering of a character, but what does it take to actually be considered 4.5D or 6.6D besides statements that literally say as much?

Probably something that transcends time and space, but not completely since it still contained space and time tbh or in certain cases, if it is higher than 4D, probably something that isn’t necessarily outright superior to it, but is roughly compared to it despite being higher than 5D or something.
