Reframing Coordinates, Dimensions & Structure
Phen Theory introduces a cleaner alternative to the Cartesian coordinate system. It doesn’t just reorient space visually & structurally it corrects the deep confusion baked into how we think about dimensions & directions. This isn’t just a semantic correction. It removes all kinds of contradictions & paradoxes, whilst laying the foundation for future clarity & further physical modelling.
Core Principle:
To bring clarity to the mess that is "dimensional language"
**Please note: This section is constantly being refined & is a work in progress. Parts of the system are used throughout PT, so even in its infacy it will help provide some clarity**
Dimensional Confusion: A Structural Mess
Physics has long confused three fundamentally different ideas under a single term: “dimension.”
Dimensional Points (used in geometry: 0D, 1D, 2D…)
Dimensional Directions (used in space: left/right, up/down, etc.)
Dimensional Planes, Surfaces or Spaces (used in metaphysics, geometry & cosmology)
These get jumbled together without clarity, leading to absurdities like:
A “point” is said to be zero dimensional - 0D, but it exists. If it exists, it’s observable. So how can it be zero of anything?
A “line” is said to be one dimensional - 1D with only length. But if it has no width or height, how can it be observed or real? If it is real, what is it made of?
A flat surface is called two dimensional - 2D, & yet a cube, supposedly 3D has six of them. So does that mean it exists in 6 × 2D = 12D? Ridiculous.
These aren’t just semantic issues they break down the logic of structure.
Phen Theory eliminates the fuzziness around dimensional language:
Points → Counted in P - Points (Phen, Photon, Phenom, Position)
Lines → Counted in 2P or more - Points (Projections & Vectors etc)
Vast Planes → Counted in M - Membranes (Planes made from Phlats - Phrames or Phaces)
Directions → Defined by B, G, R (Blue, Green, Red) Directions for single axes or
P, O, L, E (Plum, Orange, Lime & Emergence) Directions for double axes Planes (Phrames)
Points
Not Dimensions
The PSS
(Point & Symmetry System)
Phen Theory resolves this confusion by replacing vague dimensional talk with a clean, countable system of Points (P). A point isn’t 0D. Because if it’s observed, it exists. That makes it 1P. It can be dark, but if we know of its presence then its still a point even if currently not visible
A 1D line is impossible in standard physics. It has only length, so it’s both supposed to exist & be invisible. The P-system fixes this. A line is 2P. It exists between two observed points whether dark or not. No contradiction.
0P = Position
without presence. Pure location
Perfect symmetry
1P = A single observable point (like a Phenom)
Position & Presence
minimum needed for charge symmetry + -
2P = A line (or a Phibre ●─●)
Position, presence & direction
minimum needed for charge & directional symmetry
3P = A triangle (or a Phace)
Position, presence, direction & area
minimum needed for charge, directional & area symmetry
4P = A square (or a Phrame) or tetrahedron
Position, presence, direction, area & volume
minimum needed for charge, directional, area & volume symmetry
5P = A Pentagon (or a Phyramid) or Pentahedron - Square based Pyramid, or triangular bipyramid
Position, presence, direction, area, volume & axial polarity
minimum needed for charge, directional, area, volume & polar symmetry
6P = A hexagon (or a Phenomenon) or Octahedron / Square Bipyramid
Position, presence, direction, area, volume, axial polarity & radial (Centre to vertex) vector symmetry
minimum needed for charge, directional, area, volume, polar & radial symmetry
And in the PT or UCT (Universal colour Theory) Phenomenon there are 2 main ways to differentiate points:
As Polarities of the 3 main generational colour ternaries:
Blue plus (B+), Blue minus (B-),
Green plus (G+), Green minus (G-),
Red plus (R+), Red minus (R-)
Or as Colours if wishing to avoid the + & – notation
Cyan (C), Blue (B),
Green (G), Yellow (Y),
Magenta (M), Red (R)
Both notation systems are in effect identical as the colour pairs are to be thought of as positive & negative versions of the same colour. The later version is just more friendly to those that wish to use colours instead of symbols (+,-).
A way to think of it using Green generation as an example is that the Phibre is green & the yellow end is minus the blue (G–) & the (G+) is like green plus more blue. In the visible spectrum blue radiation is higher energy and results in a perceptually brighter green even though our experience with subtractive paint style colour mixing would make us think that its a darker green. so G+ can be thought of as around peak human sensitivity around the 560nm wavelength of electromagnetic spectrum.
I hope to precisely map the colour spectrum using the phenomenon structure that is a work in progress over on Universal Colour Theory & Spectrum Degrees (Links bottom)
Note: A basic understanding of the difference between additive & subtractive colour mixing will help your understanding & don't worry I often get them mixed up, like using green & red as part of mixing orange in additive colour doesn't seem intuitive
Directions
Not Dimensions
The 3 generational axes (Phenomenal Generations) of the Phield stretch between 2 polar point pairs of Phenom (2P lines / Phibres) & act as the map / directional reference in PT. They form the equivalent of the XYZ in Cartesian coordinates but are more intuitive using the colour labelling of the Phenomenon & extend to the POLE's below
3 generations
Blue / B
Left - Right / side-to-side Axis
X in Cartesian
Green / G
Up - down / top - bottom Axis
Y in Cartesian
Red / R
Forward - backward / front - rear Axis
Z in Cartesian
POLEs (⊡)
Not Dimensions
A Phrame (4P) is a square or diamond-shaped internal projection plane formed by the 3 Generational Axes of BGR within the Phield. Each Phrame is aligned to a specific POL direction Plum, Orange, Lime & E (Emergence) being the centre where all 3 intersect
These are what are normally referred to as the 3 Dimensional planes, But have been replaced with a much more logical & visual system by imagining the colours or temperatures mixing
Phield's Phrames - ⊡ - 3 Internal
4 Phenom each
P Phrame - P⊡
Plum – Purple horizontal B & R
(B- ←E→ B+) + (R- ←E→ R+)
O Phrame - O⊡
Orange – Orange Vertical R & G
(G- ←E→ G+) + (R- ←E→ R+)
L Phrame - L⊡
Lime (Green Sideways B & G)
(G– ←E→ G+) + (B– ←E→ B+)
Plus
E = Emergence - The Phen point of photon projection, the origin location. It can also be referred to in colour terms as the Chrom'E'. As Chrome visually represents its roll as both refelcting all colours & absorbing all colours in UCT. The 'E'mitting & returning location
Phlats
Not Dimensions
In Phen Theory, we replace “dimension” in relation to surface planes with precise structural terms based on how many Points (P) define a flat surface:
A Phlat is a general collective term for any flat structure made from 3 or more Points
Examples
A triangle is not a 2 dimensional plane/surface, it's a 3P Phlat (eg. Philter Phace).
A square or diamond is not a 2 dimensional plane/surface, it's a 4P Phlat (eg. Phield Phrame / POLE)
Membranes (M)
Not Dimensions
What we often call “dimensions” the vast planes of 2D surface, are really Membranes. A membrane is a tiled expanse of Phlats (Phrames or Phaces), made from structured P.
1M = One Membrane (all Phlats - Phrames or Phaces along a shared plane)
A Membrane is not a dimension in the cardinal sense. It is a surface made of structural units, not an abstract extension. There is an incalculable number of membranes in the Phenomena
Phorum (Φ⎕) AKA Space
Not Dimensions
A key departure from SP is that in PT, space is not a substance or structure. It has no dimensions. Instead it's replaced by the Phorum ( Φ⎕ ) one of the 3 primitives in PT. An eternal, passive void with no properties that the Phenomena expands into
