Dimensionality


 * For a purely mathematical definition, see Dimension.

The dimensionality of a universe is informally defined as the minimum number of coordinates needed to specify any point within it. The Localverse, for example, is a third dimensional universe, meaning that any point can be be described relative to some arbitrary origin using no fewer than three values.

Dimensionality in the Universal Science differs from similar properties because math or physics because in other studies any degree of freedom can be used as a dimensional value, whereas in the study of universes dimensionality refers only to spacial dimensions.
