multi-dimensional world

One of the things that I feel has a large bearing on the underlying structure of the world is the many-dimensional make-up of it's most basic building blocks. R' Aryeh Kaplan describes 5 dimensions in his translation of Sefer Yetsirah (The Book of Formation). My Teacher, R' Yirmiyahu Luchins, describes as many as 26 (correlating to the gematria of the shem havayah (the ineffable name of God)). String theory, depending on it's various flavors seems to require minimally 10 or 11 and more likely 26-32 dimensions.
