You know how there's the three dimensions of height, width, and depth, and the 4th dimension of time, as well as numerous other theories? Well, I have a theory about the definition of another dimension, but in order to make that theory legitimate, I must know if the term "dimension" only applies to location, or if it is more flexible than that. Just so you know, the dimension that my theory is about is more based on quality than location, if that makes any sense to you. I cannot go into any more detail with my theory, for I'm afraid that if I do, some jerk might steal my theory by claiming it as their own, and take all the credit. Also, in order to number my dimension with a number that hasn't already been taken (assuming that it is legitimate), I must know how many different dimensions (theoretical or not) have been found/discussed. Note that I am a philosopher, not an actual physics professor or anything like that, so keep your answer understandable, okay? Thanks.

Physicists have gotten a bit fast and loose with the idea of dimension in recent decades---for example, "isotopic spin" is sometimes considered to be happening in a non-physical dimension. But this is just symantics. If you like, you can restrict the idea of dimension to a geometric degree of freedom.

The latest physics theory, string theory, says there are 11 dimensions that exist in the "multiverse," and there are possibly infinite parallel universes.
The term dimension is not always about space. A character in a movie can be "multi-dimensional" if his motives are defined by more than just "get the bad guy" It's just how many principles are acting on something that have to be consider to properly define it and predict its behavior.

whilst i replaced into sixteen I objected to the term- my son- which got here from no longer my father yet an entire stranger.

At least six:
3 for space, 1 for time and then moral dimension and political dimension.
