I'm unable to find any dimensions greater than three since time seems 
to be a scalar rather than a vector orthogonal to the normal i,j,k 
(x,y,z) axes. We can construct a space of as many dimensions as we 
like by just writing i,j,k, . . . , n but this doesn't depend upon 
any physical interpretation and time is not involved. I'm inclined to 
find the dimensional stuff an intentional red herring.
