I assume by that, you mean (basically) three-dimensional reality as a subset of higher, hyperspatial, (again, conceivably infinite) dimensions. the answer is (sort of) yes. though the qualifications of Hyperdimensional Physics are really in some sense just a subset of all possible universes/physical realities, depending on your definition.
basically, if we agree on the following premises:
- purely formal mathematics applies to OUR physical universe incredibly well. almost by design.
- purely formal mathematics (possibly) applies to ALL concievable universes incredibly well. almost by design.
- purely formal mathematics may concievably exist WITHOUT our physical universe, and without our minds and/or the way our bbrains might be wired.
then:
possible conclusions = hmmmm.
holy shit, im fucking drunk. weeeeeeee.
