Sorry, do you think they are 7 dimensions, and within each dimension are 7 Layers? Altough it may sound promising, I think Mateusz said "Layer = Dimension".

Oh, right, I forgot submachine has it's own meaning for "dimension". I was using the word in the traditional sense, meaning "axis" or "direction".

In that case the Subnet should have no more than 6 dimensions, the 3 regular space dimensions and one more (up, down, left, right, forwards, backwards, layer x+1, layer x-1), time, and the "light" dimension or eight layer.

I wouldn't count the layer of time as a separate dimension. There aren't layer 8 versions of the other layers, they aren't independent "directions" so to say.

Indeed, the eighth layer exist on the same axis as the rest, just farther out.

However, you're forgetting there's multiple submachines within a layer. Since this is visualized as the submachines being spread across a plane, that's an additional two dimensions, for a total of seven.

I also suspect there's an eighth, separating the subnet from the karma sea.
