Composite dimensionality is a new way of looking at the universe through a detailed analysis of the concept of motion. Motion has, from the time of Zeno of Elea twenty-four centuries ago, represented a great unknown. The universe needs nine dimensions to fully account for all forms of one-dimensional motion. Physics, viewed in nine dimensions, becomes almost classical again — phenomena detailed in both quantum mechanics and relativity theory are shown to be distortions of fundamental parameters brought on by the way nature needs to fit the information flowing in the nine basic dimensions into the three spatiotemporal dimensions we perceive (it's not a perfect process). The idea of extra dimensions is not a new concept. However, the methodology of dimensional compactification previous ideas posit as a means of dealing with the 'extra' dimensions is not needed. Composite dimensionality reveals the way in which the universe handles the nine basic dimensions, as well as to answer the question of what, exactly, are the three dimensions we exist within, as well as how the three spatial dimensions relate to the nine basic dimensions they are the product of.
