Searching New Dimensions
'There are 2 dimensions which everyone is aware of and talk of very intellectually', lectured Yema, the chimp. In the jungle it wasn't uncommon for chimps to be professors. In fact most were, that is, most professors were chimps and then again the reverse too, that is, most chimps were professors! Oh, dont let me confuse you. Well, lets just state that most professors are chimps and most chimps are professors! Before this sounds anymore like a question from a commonly answered test paper for analytical skills, let me quickly get to the next point. These points were not timeless, they were centred around the time Ms. Yema gave her lectures.
'But can any of you give me an idea for another dimension? A dimension which is irrespective of space and time, the commonly talked of ones, and yet a coordinate measured along time, space and this new dimension gives a distinct value.' she asked her class of flummoxed youths. There was Gil sitting on the first row, thoughtful one moment and eager to reply to Ms. Yema's question the next. Upon her request with the raised hand, Ms. Yema motioned her to voice her idea and then Gil blurted out, 'Life Ma'am!'
'Can you explain that briefly, Gil?'
'Well, Ma'am, I was jus' thinking that Life is a line that exists irrespective of Space and Time. If you think of a value of zero for this dimension, we are talking of a dead thing or maybe a non-living one. Any non-zero value would refer to how much life is possessed by a thing at a given co-ordinate value for space and time. So if I say coordinates of the kind (Space, Time, Life) and if I am talking about me today in this class I could represent it as

There, you now have a distinct value, don't you!?'
'Hmm, that was brilliant Gil, but I have some doubts, for instance, how do you measure life?'
'That is a decision that must be taken given some parameters...'
'(With a laugh!) Are you suggesting the dimension life be again represented as a set of dimensions?'
'That is your idea Ma'am. But I would rather measure life as a sum of (Brain activity + Heart activity + physical activity). It is just like how Space is represented as (x, y, z).'
'And each of these activities will be measured by...? Another set of parameters?'
'Not really, measure of brain activity is a measure of the neural activity, measured by say, standard equipments in the form of EEG(?). Heart activity, a measure of pulse rate maybe(?) and Physical activity measured by the energy burnt, calories spent...'
By now there were several hands raised, eager to support Gil in her theory or beat her with theories of their own. But Ms. Yema was eager to hear from Griz who was sitting, looking out of the window, waiting for it to be poetry class and from Dee who was sitting in the last seat and day-dreaming perhaps. She was about to proceed when the bell rang and she had to end her interesting class.
'Why don't all of you write your essays on this? We can read a few of them in the next class, argue on them and maybe add to them. Ok, then...'

Hi Dee, in blogspot, I can crap all I want right!?
Gif
no i think its a nice concept kinda reminds me of all the the different dimensions u and me are. Was thinking you would have had good potential to do research and some such thouts ... its a blog we all crap ...me with my nonsensical depressing ones , u with the chirpy stuff ....write what u feel.
