I thought of this plilosophical angle for correlating human thought to mathematics several years ago. Here goes. There are three levels of human thought, 1-D thought , 2-D thought and 3-D thought. 1-D thought is linear. These are thoughts with a linear or 1-D correlation. For example, trhe letters of an alphabet are 1-D. Good scientific data that is beyond question is 1-D, i.e., it is what it is. 2-D thought is the basis for rational thinking. Rational thinking sets up 2-D axis of cause and effect, right and wrong, good or evil, etc.., This 2-D plane is where rational comparison is made, similar to drawing a line or curve on the plane between the axis. The third level of thought is 3-D thought; this is spatial thought. The right side of the brain is spatial or 3-D while the left side is more rational or 2-D. One can appoximate a 3-D thought with many rational planes intersecting at various angles overlapping a common center point. For example the unification of force would be the synthesiis of all the rational force equations into one 3-D or integrated theory.

Since 1-D thought is a line than dimension greater than 1-D, say 1.1-D would add curvative to the line. This type of thought would be language, where words have a linear ordering of letters, yet words can have many meanings, i.e., adds a twist to a linear relationship. At 1.5-D thought the line will curve onto itself to form a circle. The circle or ring is the symbol of marriage or unity of desire between two people. 1.5-D thought begins the thought dimension of material prestige. For example, a wearing wedding ring creates certain subjective signicance. If one took off the ring, they are the same person but would get a different subjective reaction from the environment.

As thought dimension get greater than 1.5-D the circle expands until at 2-D the circle become the infinite plane of cause and effect. As thought get closer to 2-D, say 1.9-D the circle of prestige increases from the prestige of two to universal prestige. These may be thoughts like cars and gold which are objects of desire which have universal appeal and availability and which can induce subjectivity in others. At 2-D subjectivity reaches its limit and become rational objectvity. This is the basis for law. Law provides a grid of cause and effect that is not open to rational argument. For example, the speed limit is 65. If you obey the law it is good, if one does not obey the law it is bad.

Since 2-D thought is based on the 2-D grid, thought dimensions greater than 2-D say 2.2-D would imply drawing rational drawings on the grid of law; one can rationalize the lspeed limit law at thought dimensions higher than 2-D. At 2.5-D thought the rational drawing become a spatial image. A spatial image is similar to an artist drawing a 3-D sketch on a 2-D piece of paper. Often the 3-D assisted with shadowing. For example both the Demoncratic and Replican platforms are 2.5-D thoughts. Both express truth but neither expresses the whole truth. The denial of the other half of the truth provides shadowing for the 2.5-D spatial image.

Thought dimension beyond 2.5-D can be understood as intutiive relief drawings where denial of truth becomes converted to depth of understanding. This might be the thought dimension of a conservative demoncrat or a liberal republican, who are attempting to reconcile the truth within both sides. Such synthesis is not longer entirely rational but has a layer of intuitive synthesis. The intutiive third dimension is why the bridge makers do not seen as determinant as the strick party members. Denial is solid but synthesis is nebulous or intuitive. As our intuitive relieve drawing approach 3-D they lose their rational framework and become more free standing sculptures. Symbols like God are 3-D; these symbols go beyond reason. It usually requires intuitive relief drawings to do the symbol complete justice, which why religion often seems nebulous.

The thought dimensional analysis, and our ability to percieved each dinension, implies that memory is stored at all dimensions. The ego can change thought dimensionality and focus itself or become conscious at any dimension. If one remains focused at material prestige, thought remains between 1.5-D and 2-D causing one to become subjective and irrational, i.e., materialist. If one remains focused at reason from 2-D to 2.5-D, it become hard to undertand human subjectivity or human intuition, i.e., logical scientist. If one remains focused at 2.5-D to 3-D, one can lose their sense of reason and materialism, living in an intuitive world that is difficult to define and close, i.e., philosophy/religion.

I will stop here but there are also thought dimensions from 0-D to 1-D and and 3-D to 4-D. These are biochemical potentials or to use traditonal language, the spirits or time projections that animate the soul (1-D to 3-D).
