Physical premise (IDWT): Physical spacetime has infinitely many ordinary spatial dimensions plus time. Matter occupies up to ten spatial dimensions; all remaining spatial directions are unbound for every particle. Depth counts a pattern's bound spatial involvement within that space. “Observed” and “unobserved” describe an observer's access, not different kinds of dimension. Older projective and nested-geometry calculations below retain their additional hypotheses; they do not establish a separate physical manifold or compactified direction. See spatial meaning and mathematical scope.

24. Present verdict

The working physical picture is interaction between extended spatial patterns of the same field. Their tails can affect one another at separated centres, with changes in mutual influence transmitted no faster than light between them.

The response must retain both complete patterns, including multiple orientations, shape, phase, bound/free directions and reciprocal deformation. A scalar centre distance is not a sufficient general description.

Within the ten-dimensional matter domain, seven spatial directions lie outside an observer's three resolved directions. The containing space has infinitely many additional unbound directions. Neither an independent-offset ensemble nor a coordinate-matching constraint is supplied by those dimension counts.

The unfinished calculation is a common causal field evolution that gives forces, orientation response and any restructuring of the two patterns while retaining energy and momentum balance. A projected electromagnetic description may be used when derived from that evolution for the measured response.

The antisymmetric-amplitude calculation is a conventional mathematical comparison. Its ideal scalar point-contact zero holds in the stated antisymmetric spatial channel. It is not an IDWT trajectory or collision law.
