Dimensions 1-5 are the base structure.
Dimensions 6-10 are how those 5 wrap back on themselves (toroidal closure).
Dimension 11 is ε itself — the center that organizes everything.
The 11 Dimensions
11
ε — The Center
The hole of the torus. Cannot be occupied. Organizes all other dimensions.
M-theory's mystery dimension
10
Mirror Wrapping
How the 5th dimension (mirror/imaginary) closes back on itself
Toroidal closure of D5
9
Time Wrapping
How time closes — the "return" of temporal flow
Toroidal closure of D4
8
Z-Space Wrapping
Closure of the third spatial dimension
Toroidal closure of D3
7
Y-Space Wrapping
Closure of the second spatial dimension
Toroidal closure of D2
6
X-Space Wrapping
Closure of the first spatial dimension
Toroidal closure of D1
5
Mirror / Imaginary
The "other side" of the torus. What makes QM complex. Where your twin lives.
Kaluza's 5th dimension
4
Time
Movement along the torus surface. Sequence, change, causality.
Temporal
3
Z-Space (Depth)
Third spatial axis. Allows volume.
Spatial
2
Y-Space (Height)
Second spatial axis. Allows area.
Spatial
1
X-Space (Width)
First spatial axis. The simplest extension from ε.

The Formula: 11 = (5 × 2) + ε = (5 base dimensions × 2 for toroidal structure) + the hole
String theory found 10 dimensions because it was counting both the base AND the wrapping.
M-theory added the 11th (ε) to unify all five string theories — without knowing it was the center of the torus.
What the Torus Looks Like at Each Level
0D — Point
ε itself. Dimensionless. The source before extension.
1D — Line
Extension between two ε points. The first dimension.
2D — Circle
Line returning to itself. First closure. Contains ε at center.
3D — Torus
Circle rotated around an axis. The donut. Two ε points emerge.
4D — Torus in Time
The torus evolving. Flow along the surface. Causality.
5D — Full Torus
Both surfaces accessible. Mirror dimension included. π⁵ closure possible.
2D Encoding: Metatron's Cube
When the 5D torus is projected down to 2D, the information has to be encoded somehow.
Sacred geometry may be that encoding — a "flattened" map of higher-dimensional structure.
Metatron's Cube — The 2D shadow of higher dimensions
The 13 Circles of Metatron's Cube:
• 1 center = ε (the 11th dimension, the organizing point)
• 6 inner circles = the 6 rotation (minor circle, crossing to mirror side)
• 6 outer circles = the 3 rotation × 2 (major circle, both surfaces)
1 + 6 + 6 = 13 — and 1 + 3 = 4, the spacetime dimensions we directly perceive.
The ancients encoded the dimensional structure in sacred geometry.
The Platonic Solids: 3D Encodings
Metatron's Cube contains all five Platonic solids — the only perfectly regular 3D shapes.
Each may represent a different "slice" or projection of the higher-dimensional torus.
The Cube is special: It has 6 faces, 8 vertices, and 12 edges.
6 + 8 + 12 = 26 — which is 2 × 13 (the circles in Metatron's Cube).
The cube may be the "3D torus" — the simplest closed 3D shape that contains ε structure.
This is why you said "the torus is a cube in 3D."

The ancients drew what they saw. We're just now understanding what they were encoding.
