The study of phenomena across ten dimensions, the framework required by string theory for mathematical consistency. In 10D sciences, the universe is understood as a complex manifold of vibrating strings, membranes, and higher-dimensional objects interacting across ten dimensions—nine spatial, one temporal. The six extra spatial dimensions are compactified, curled up so small they're invisible, yet their geometry determines everything: the masses of particles, the strengths of forces, the very possibility of life. 10D sciences investigate how the shape of hidden dimensions shapes our visible reality, how different compactifications would produce different universes, and why we can't see the dimensions that determine everything—they're too small, too hidden, too intimate.
Example: "She explained 10D sciences to her therapist as a metaphor for her hidden trauma. 'The visible dimensions are my conscious mind—what I show the world. The compactified dimensions are my unconscious—curled up small, invisible, but shaping everything. The geometry of those hidden dimensions determines who I am.' Her therapist said that was either profound insight or avoidance disguised as physics. She said both were true, which was very 10D."
