IP 17 Dimensionality change
IP 17 Get moving/Dimensionality change[Principle of transition to another dimension]
Dimensionality change by moving to a different order dimension or by utilizing layering or orientation changes.
Actions in one dimension are moved to a higher (or lower) dimension.
Move from a line, to a plane, to three dimensions.
Use assemblies or structures of many layers.
Change the orientation of the object or the direction of the service. Work on objects from different directions.
Cars parked along a street, to cars parked in a square, to cars parked in a multi-story structure.
Software tools using two or more transparent layers to construct graphics.
Business processes operating across many geographical and time zones.
Tunnels cut using multiple headings, and multiple cross sections.
We may think of and constrain objects and services to operate along straight line, when they may be more easily placed or utilized when allowed to move in two dimensions. Similarly moving to three dimensions adds efficiency and flexibility. Further advancement can be made by allowing objects and services to operate across the dimension of time. Disposable packaging and time-release medicines are two examples, although time is a special case dimension not normally considered within this principle.
