This is, to me the best way to explain the fourth dimension. I am a more visual person. So pictures help
The Four Diagonals:






1-5 Matter

2-6 Consciousness ]

3-7 Energy

4-0 Self-Organization

The fourth dimension is the home of the Complex numbers and Fractal geometry. Unlike the other dimensions, the fourth is the real world in which we live. It is the space time continuum of Man and Nature where there is constant change based on feedback. As Mandelbrot recently discovered the fourth dimension includes not only the first three dimensions, but also the gaps or intervals between them, the fractal dimensions.
