dimensiotason
Dimensiotason is a conceptual quantity used primarily in speculative physics and science fiction to describe how quickly the dimensional properties of a system change over time. The term combines the idea of dimension with a measurement suffix, and it is typically defined as the time rate of change of a dimensional state parameter D(t): dimensiotason = dD/dt. The dimensional parameter D can represent various aspects of a system’s dimensional state, such as the number of effective spatial dimensions, the scale or presence of extra compactified dimensions, or the rate at which dimensionality appears to vary in certain theoretical frameworks.
In theoretical contexts, dimensiotason is model-dependent. If D counts effective dimensions, the unit of dimensiotason is
Relation to established ideas includes variable dimensionality, dimensional flow, and the concept of spectral or Hausdorff
