Intelligence scales superlinearly with accessible dimensional freedom. By operating in ℝⁿ (n>3) spaces, cognitive systems achieve exponential gains in capacity, connectivity, and problem-solving abilities through dimensional shortcuts and hyper-connectivity unavailable in traditional 3D models.
This paper introduces Neuro-Dimensional Architecture (NDA), a novel scientific discipline proposing that cognitive systems can fundamentally operate in higher-dimensional mathematical spaces, transcending traditional three-dimensional limitations. We present the Dimensional Intelligence Hypothesis (DIH), which formally posits that intelligence scales superlinearly with accessible dimensional freedom.
The framework establishes four foundational constructs, three governing laws, and provides novel interpretations for cognitive phenomena (insight, intuition, creativity) as signatures of latent higher-dimensional processing. We propose novel AI architectures and outline experimental validation pathways in neuroscience and machine learning.
Four foundational constructs for higher-dimensional cognition
Studies neural embeddings in ℝⁿ (n>3), enabling hyper-connectivity and distance compression in cognitive spaces.
Models cognitive processes propagating simultaneously across multiple independent dimensions, enabling parallel intuition.
Utilizes curved manifolds for exponential memory capacity and natural hierarchy embedding.
Explains decision-making and insight as projection from high-dimensional states to lower-dimensional outputs.
