Beyond the Fourth Dimension The method complex algebra students use to construct, mathematically, a realm of four space dimensions can be used to build realms of virtually any number of dimensions. With five dimension-defining lines, each line at right angles to the other four, we can describe, in mathematical terms, a five-dimensional world. With six such lines, we can describe a six-dimensional realm. And so on. For each of these n-dimensional worlds we formulate geometrically, we can design algebraic expressions to describe what shapes, functions, and behaviors are possible for physical entities existing in those n dimensions.
