What is your solution to earth's three-dimensional laws, seemingly bound only to matter with gravity (planets), and yet occupying within a dimension that seems to be NOT limited by those laws? Is gravity a form of dimensional suppressor, limiting matter to only height, width, and depth? if not, could the attributes of the non limited dimension, which we reside in, be measured here on Earth?

we currently can only directly sense 4 dimensions.
with some tests and theories we can interact to a degree with 2 other dimensions. Weak nuclear force, strong nuclear force. and indirectly play in 2 others but not directly so we use theory to explain this plus indirect experimentation. but as one poster put it this involves Planck length/space which is ITTY bitty as in particle space. yet all these dimensions are intertwined in a cohesive mesh known as the universe. the other theoretical can not be tested as of yet. As one poster said the LHC at cern *MAY* help. but I strongly believe it will only discover more perplexity than answers. as in history the universe gets stranger and stranger the more we learn about it. to Quote Einstein: The universe is not only weird its weirder than weird. With the possibility that we live in a multiverse, to the mysterious repulsion properties of dark energy to the possibility of dark matter. its PAINFULLY obvious our understanding is very incomplete and as history shows new properties await being discovered which will undoubtedly shake our very laws at the most basic level of understanding. We truly live in a very interesting time in physics.

"What is your solution to earth's three-dimensional laws"
Kepler pretty much nailed it. Earth travels on an elliptical path (with some small deviations due to the gravity of the other planets).
"and yet occupying within a dimension that seems to be NOT limited by those laws?"
Dimensions are not "limited" by laws. There are three spatial dimensions, and there is gravity, which goes as 1/r^2, where r is distance. You seem to have no idea what a dimension is.
"could the attributes of the non limited dimension, which we reside in, be measured here on Earth?"
There is no evidence that we exist in a mystery dimension. We travel freely in three dimensions (up-down, left-right, forward-backward), and we also travel in time, but not freely. Whatever additional dimensions you're describing are just a fantasy.

Some theories predict that the universe we are in may have 12 or more dimensions. We are only able to observe four (x,y,z,t) as the others are most likely very small (order of the Planck length). It may be that we can test this in high energy experimants such as the LHC at Cern. Gravity is a force. there is no Quantum theory of Gravity so there is still sectret awaiting discovery......

b4 you can understand it you need to understand the basic quantum theory and Einstein theories.
after all Einstein is the father of quantum mechanic, although he hated it so much.
this should enable you to understand a whole lot more
P.S.
we humans have only just scratch the surface of the universe there is still a whole lot more that we dont understand
