I discovered that i represented a negative dimensioning. Construct a Cartesian plane, but use i for the axes. You'll notice soon that AREAS on that plane are real numbers (i.e. the area between 0 and
y +1i and
x +1i is -1).
Since on the i plane (constructed of dimensionality 1 numbers), real numbers are areas (dimensionality 2), then our real numbers just sitting alone (dimensionality 0) may sit in a dimensionality number just 1 above what the i numbers do. Hence, a dimensionality of 0-1, hence -1, hence a "negative dimension".
Thinking about this some more, I concluded that a good way to visualize this is with a black hole or other puncture through our universal fabric. Negative dimensionality seems to represent a universe beneath or beyond ours ... and in that universe, you can use i in the same algebraic fashion as our 0-dimension numbers are.
However, I find myself on unstable ground with all this amateur crap, and when I posted about i
i, I was unable to come up with a visualization. Hence, I feel I can't
signify it.
