The Narrative of Imaginary Dimensions: Mathematical and Cultural Perspectives
This paper examines the concept of imaginary dimensions as both a mathemat- ical tool and a cultural narrative. Imaginary dimensions arise in complex analysis, quantum mechanics, and cosmology, yet they also echo in mythological and ritual structures across cultures. By juxtaposing mathematical formalism with narrative archetypes, we argue that imaginary dimensions serve as bridges between rigorous science and human storytelling. The conclusion remains deliberately open: Are imaginary dimensions ontologically real, or epistemologically narrative?
