Ever wonder why we teach Conservation Laws with the energy concept and fore go doing so from Momentum conservation. The problem is that at atomic levels you can't label every atom to follow path. They all look alike (at least the same isotopes do). But we know Conservation exists so we switch to the squaring of things (the most famous E=mcSquared) and fore go keeping track of direction (as in vectors) which is in line with a statistical understanding of Entropy and 2nd Law Thermodynamics. It is even more necessitated when you throw in Quantum Mechanics on top of this. So notice we give up on following each individual thing and go with general relationships.
I think in this same Science thread is an article about leaving Feynman's diagrams behind (which try to model individual paths and are nice in simple systems) and go with a higher dimensional geometry that reflects the energy time result and gives us a simpler look at the final answer because there are both restricted states going in and out of a system Quantum Mechanically. You don't get bogged down in the details of trying to follow an ever larger accounting of possibilities to sum to the result.
So there are higher dimensional systems that can give us an answer in general questions. And the trick is to knit together well behaved manifolds where each of the parts are well behaved and additionally representative of different physical parts of the system under investigation.
I am sure this is what this Physicist has done.
The whole 10 and 11 dimensional space and Penrose and his parts in discussing reality all use similar approaches. The inverse deSitter spaces and other inventive well behaved vector spaces or better yet Clifford spaces are being mathematically developed and tried in looking at a multidimensional explanation. (Even in computer games we see 5 dimensional systems with one of the axis set at infinity to be a projective geometry that facilitates following extended relationships lost in three dimensions say when something goes behind a building in line of sight in three dimensions.)
The problem is these processes is they need real results as predictions of behavior of some momentum involved items because that is what we really detect in this world in order to be substantiated as reflective of our particular universe.
