Your a hard case Pat, but your position is weakening. The combination of the temporal dimension with that of space-time still represents individual components as a 3+1 model. Time is an added component to establish when the where event takes place and still subject to time dilation via the influence of light speed and gravitational forces. It is not that time is being separated but that it is recognized as being unique in relation to the other dimensions. That aspect alone separates it as a a unique dimension regardless of the mathematical model which essentially only combines several physical "theories". If you remember this from Peyi a fini, we concluded with your consciousness involves the entity of your physical being which exists as a mathematical property. To conclude that your consciousness establishes a similarity that extends space time calabi yau is conjectural theory which relies on the exclusion of fluxes. That alone negates a fixed set of parameters within the dimension. Much of it all comes out of the need to establish string theory with models of unseen spatial dimensions. So establishing a consciousness within that realm seems a bit premature and unfounded based on the lack of physical evidence. Of course you can always add an imaginary physical being with a consciousness in the string theory landscape, but you probably did that already, ergo; God and the Plan. To which you replied; I like it. Although I disagree, I see your point. Premature? Well, perhaps, but that's what speculation IS. I state it because, given ALL of human experiences, this conformation is the only one that CAN explain them all. I no of no other that comes anywhere close. My physics is the simplest explanation that covers all phenomena. All others leave huge gaps. Should I apologise for my foresight? So Pat, you see the points but are stuck on a quest and a belief that still remains dependent upon validation of numerous theories and speculations. Science fiction is and has been a source of wondrous speculations and theories but still regardless of the formulations that make them appear to have solidified remain fiction. However, with that in mind I will say that I don't and never have faulted you for having the foresight. Many imaginings of men of the past have come to fruition though they were thought pipe dreams in their time. Perhaps there will be a time in the far future that these theories and speculative concepts will take on new meaning in the world, unfortunately and in the context of our dialogue we are both lost in dreamland.
