I
believe it was while considering the outlook of angels that I
regarded their trans-dimensional propensity or not readily morphing
to a consideration of dimension and their number. Why not an
infinite number of dimensions as an infinite series? One already has the example of Cantor's trans-finite sets and perhaps trans-finite dimension sets too, if the
string and membrane theory concept that some dimensions may be larger
or smaller, embedded to transcendent and interacting with others.
Perhaps multiple dimensions interacting produce a different sort of
compound dimension in effect creating qualitative as well as
quantitative distinctions.
In
the Revelation angels are referred to quite a lot. They seem almost
to be a referent-term for a sector or nexus of sentience within the
spiritual realm with the possibility that human sentience in some way
is a sub-category of particular angels (perhaps with a higher
dimensional protocol). John takes letters to the angels of churches
such as that of Smyrna. Considering how natural philosophy describing
the natural world intersects the spiritual plane of metaphysical,
theological and philosophical interest is interesting. Consideration
of the metaphysics of dimensions is fascinating yet less important
except as it informs one of inferences and possibilities about God's
way of being.
God
probably is the issuer of dimensions as non-contingent being. There
may be a rational mechanics of relations amidst dimensions from
divine design rather than slots in empty space into which dimensions
place mass and energy. Paul Erhenfrest saw the necessity of four
dimensions for matter to fully cohere, yet there may be more
templates and courses for the interaction of mass and energy in other
forms with more or fewer dimensions.
One
must wonder if dimensions cohere in empty space as qualities
pre-existing mass and energy or if mass and energy naturally arrange
into three dimensional configurations with one more of time. That is
the simplistic way to view the matter perhaps however there is no
necessity that it is so. It is somewhat more challenging to imagine
membranes with endowments of mass colliding that appear to be of four
dimensions at intersections of collisions (something like when the
Andromeda Galaxy intersects with the Milky Way in a few billion
years). In some way one would want to speculate that membranes are a
natural form for dimensions to take and for mass and energy to
arrange themselves in-yet that shape of flatness perhaps as a
one-dimension brane seems to be inconsistent with Occam's razor.
Dimensions would need to become membranes of finite area and yet
appear simultaneously with an initial endowment of mass (unless God
placed it there) and/or energy, or mass and /or energy would need to
arise without dimensions and slip into membranes (plural) that would
later intersect, or mass and/ or energy might naturally evolve
membranes that would collide or rebound as developed artifacts of a
primary, evolved form. The evolution of membranes or dimensions
probably shouldn't be regarded as a trivial feature ancillary to the
existence of mass and or energy.
I
still like Leibniz's spiritual monad theory of divine interaction
with energy/mass. It is easy to take that as a general paradigm for
God's spiritual issuance of forms that appear as energy-mass. Basic
partitioned fields seem to need to set apart energy-mass from
infinities anyway. Quantum valence shells and quantum uncertainty
within a field or fields with constructions that have ordinal and
finite set matrices of force seems a practical way of supporting a
steady-state of mass entangled Universe.
