In philosophy and science the terms/concepts of 'level' and 'dimension' are used, e.g. 'meta-level' language in the analytic philosophy, or 'the fourth dimension' in physics. What are the precise definition these terms?
Dimensions define objects whereas the levels quantify or measure the dimensions.
Thank you Tunc for searching after the difference. But what I mean by 'difference' is: Is there any 'distinction' between those two concepts? My 'finger-spitzen-gefuhl' says: yes! And I am searching after the logical arguments for that 'distinction'.
I can add a third 'concept', viz. that of 'order'. It is generally defined by the quantum physicist David Bohm as: 'to give attention to similar differences and different similarities', citing Biederman (see his 'Wholeness and the implicate order'). However medieval philosophers had a more complete definition of this concept, it seems to me, viz. the definition/description of the concept of 'analogy' (see e.g. Aquinas).
What is your opinion? But EVERYBODY can react upon this QUESTION...
