A phenomenal break (or warptear)in paraspace where determinism and causality breaks down. (See Warptear)
Space-time is discontinuous at an event if the approach from the past and the approach from the future yields two nonequivalent events.
Two, mirrored, multi-dimensional, rectilinear coordinate systems.
The coupling of two m dimensional cubes across m+1 dimensional paraspace. The paracube (dyadic quar)is a dyad of two, space-time parallel quars - the posiquar and the antiquar. The dyadic quex is a dyad of two, space-possibility-time parallel quins - the posiquin and the antiquin. The latter is often referred to as the queth of a quex (one-sixth of a quex or two parallel quins).
Although eventuality, uncertainty and possibility express the same concept, there is a considerable difference in point-of-view. Let's say you are given the opportunity to select a wife from a bevy of ten beautiful women. If you are a graduate of the Possibility school, you would relish the thought of having up to ten beauties to choose from. However, if you had metriculated at the Uncertainty school, you would worry that you faced a 90% chance of selecting the wrong woman. Having preferred the path of Eventuality, you quickly realize that you will eventually end up miserable no matter what choice you make. (If you prefer, change the example from women to men. It doesn't matter. One sex is just as miserable as the other.)
The uncertainty or possibility dimension can be thought of as a kind of space. We could plot the location (either the depth, width or height) of a person (S), the time for the person (T), the uncertainty for the person (X) on three cartesian axes for S-T-X.
Assume the values we measure are: S = +72 inches, T = +8:30 A.M., X = 0 inches. From this, we can conclude with no uncertainty that our person is exactly six feet tall at 8:30 in the morning.
But what if we measured: S = +72 inches, T = +8:30 A.M., X = -0.5 inches and +1.0 inches. We must then conclude with chagrin that we can only estimate this person's height at 8:30 in the morning as 72 inches, -0.5 inches, +1.0 inches. Therefore, the height of the man or woman is somewhere between 71.5 and 73 inches, most probably closest to 72. We should also conclude that we probably need a new tape measure. Actually, if the variation in height was more than just random measurement error, but true uncertainty, the best tape the world would make no difference.
Of course, if there is uncertainty in height, there could just as likely be uncertainty in depth, width or even time. Because the Panigma Lens can only contain one, maybe two extra dimensions during a rotation, the uncertainty in the spatial dimensions have been labeled 5x, 5y and 5z; the uncertainty in time the scientists have labeled the sixth dimension. Uncertainty in the spatial dimension is determined along the direction of relative motion. The uncertainty X for the other two spatial axes is therefore a dependent variable and is not "contained" by the Lens.
This, of course, does not change the fact of eight dimensions, only what they are called. The eight dimensions Lloyd Baumer labeled as follows: (Where d = the uncertainty operator for the common dimensions -- x,y,z and t)
1 linear space = x (length) 2 linear space = y (width) 3 linear space = z (height) 4 linear space = t (duration) 5x uncertainty space for x = x = x + dx 5y uncertainty space for y = y = y + dy 5z uncertainty space for z = z = z + dz 6 uncertainty space for t = t = t + dt
The uncertainty (d)operator is a function of (x,y,z,t,c) where c is the variable speed of light. Using the conventions of paradimensional relativity, x would be the uncertainty space for x, and dx would be the uncertainty or the uncertainty function. The other uncertainties are similarly defined.
The linear or perceptual dimensions (phenomena)and the uncertainty dimensions(noumena)rotate with respect to each other. Perception and uncertainty constitutes a continuum as long as both are finite variables (i.e., there is continuity). The assignment of x,y,z,t,x,y,z and t to the continuum of complex space is arbitrary. It is convenient.
Any single space is transformable into any other. For example, length is transformable into width, time transformable into space, uncertainty transformable into certainty, certainty transformable into uncertainty, etc., by the mindspace of an "observer" - a fixed, subjective container.
Baumer acknowledged that the continuum could contain more than eight dimensions, that the number need not be limited to eight, though he found no need for more. In fact, it could be argued that even eight are too many, that there are really only four - but the four we rarily see, the four dimensions of uncertainty, the four we transform everyday into certainty, that is, all but one part of time - the future which remains as uncertain t.
Falling sensation attributed to the rotation of the space-time plane about the spatial axis brought on by the disorientation of uncertainty. Rotation of the space-time plane about the spatial axis (i.e., the rotation of time) produces a relative thinning or thickening of space.
