The practice of designing and constructing systems that function across multiple dimensions simultaneously, ensuring that your bridge stands not just in 3D but in 4D (through time), 5D (across probability branches), and up to N-D (wherever). Multidimensional engineers must account for the fact that materials have different properties in different dimensions, loads propagate through dimensional interfaces, and structural failure in one dimension can cascade through others. It's engineering on hard mode, where the building codes haven't been written yet and the inspectors exist in dimensions you can't reach. Despite these challenges, multidimensional engineering has produced some remarkable structures—most of which exist in dimensions we can't see, which is either genius or useless, depending on your perspective.
Multidimensional Engineering *Example: "She was a multidimensional engineer who designed a house that existed in 3D, 4D, and 5D simultaneously. In 3D, it was a modest bungalow. In 4D, it was a time-spanning structure that included its own past and future versions. In 5D, it branched into every possible renovation she might ever consider. The house was theoretically perfect. Practically, she still had a leaky faucet in this dimension, and the plumber couldn't access the 5D branch where it was already fixed."*
