If you mean a mind/brain dualism, which is really not a dualism at all as the physical consciousness of the brain is very different from the consciousness manifested by the compact manifolds (which is the basis of our individual minds as well as a universal mind, much like comp) even though the two consciousnesses are connected and often copies of each other.
The space of this model is 3-D. The extra dimensions have precipitated out into very tiny balls some 1000 Planck lengths across. Everything is in the physical world, but the compact manifolds each instantly image the entire universe within themselves which puts them effectively outside spacetime. Let me know if you cannot see that and I will try to explain it to you some other way.
