The Three-Dimensional Theory.
The dimensions referred to here are not the three dimensions of physics, where a third directional vector is added to a two-dimensional plane.
Instead, they refer to the Self Dimension, the Medium Dimension, and the External Dimension.
In Roger's theory, 'oneself' is the Self Dimension, things 'oneself' can influence are the Medium Dimension, and things that cannot be influenced are the External Dimension.
To put it figuratively.
Roger's will can control his own body; the body is Roger's Medium Dimension. The body can emit sound; sound is also Roger's Medium Dimension. Sound can influence another person's actions; that person is also Roger's Medium Dimension.
Even if Roger could influence stock prices, the rise and fall of the stock market would also be Roger's Medium Dimension.
But Roger cannot influence phenomena like 'the sun emits light'; the luminous sun is the External Dimension.
Everything that can be interfered with is a Medium Dimension, but there are also differences in the intensity and refinement of interference.
Even with interference, the difficulty of drawing a bow is vastly different from the difficulty of making an arrow hit a target a hundred meters away.
This is because the arrow's trajectory, while you can control it, cannot be controlled with perfect precision.
The Medium Dimension also has its levels.
To nourish and strengthen the Self Dimension with the Medium Dimension, to continuously acquire new Medium Dimensions, to transform low-level mediums into high-level mediums, and for the Medium Dimension to erode the External Dimension – this is what Roger wants to do.
"...This is too strange." Dumbledore, halfway through reading, couldn't understand why Roger went to such lengths.
Dumbledore looked at Roger beside him with a confused expression. "What's the point of you doing this?"
"You don't need to create these... dimensions. You could have just said to strengthen the body with magic, control everything with magic, and finally improve the precision of control."
Hearing Dumbledore say this, Roger couldn't help but sigh.
He knew it.
His theory was a bit abstract, and many people would find it difficult to understand at first glance.
"This has to start with a phenomenon I discovered earlier." Actually, this section was written in the last part of the book, on how life evolves, but since Dumbledore asked about it, Roger began to explain.
Then, Roger told Dumbledore about how, from the Green Skin Mushroom Beast created by Hagrid, he sensed that a large convergence of human thoughts could influence magic.
After the development of the Radiation Charm, he had fully verified this.
Roger had tentatively named this phenomenon Alaya Magic.
Later, as he embarked on the path of magic, while contemplating how he could become 'change,' he coincidentally thought of the existence of Alaya Magic.
"If we re-perceive everything using the framework of 'Self,' 'Medium,' and 'External.'"
"You will discover that every advancement in human civilization and wizard civilization is caused by changes in mediums."
"Humans gained 'fire' as a new, interferable medium, and wizards gained 'magic' as a medium."
"Through the mediums of language and writing, thoughts could transcend time, allowing humans to continuously accumulate their progress."
"As their contemplation of the world grew, their understanding of the world became clearer, and they could interfere with more things, thus shrinking the External Dimension."
As he finished speaking, Roger looked up and gazed out the hotel window at the vibrant streets and the brilliant Muggle technological civilization. "Until humans learned to fill the deficiencies of the 'Self' with 'mediums.'"
"Using microscopes to replace narrow human vision, mathematics to replace vague cognitive logic, and computers to replace brains that had temporarily ceased to evolve."
"Phenomena like lightning, originally uncontrollable External Dimensions, became high-level Medium Dimensions that could be manipulated at will."
Roger withdrew his gaze and continued speaking to Dumbledore. "And the reason wizard civilization has progressed so little is because our 'mediums' have never developed. For thousands of years, we've been struggling with magic, with very little success."
"Magic is our foundation, just as boiling water, throwing stones, and telling stories are the foundations for Muggles."
"Muggles have advanced to the second stage, and it's time for us to move forward. We also need 'electricity,' 'microscopes,' and 'computers.'"
"We need an energy source that is more stable than the overly idealistic magic and can be freely controlled by our will. We need eyes that can see the world more clearly, and we need computers that can elevate our thinking to higher realms."
At this point, Roger paused. "Magic is a miracle of the mind, like Expelliarmus. 'Expel' is directed at something you genuinely believe will harm you, and it's a conceptual casting."
If someone were to use Expelliarmus on a physically strong, unarmed opponent, it might cause considerable harm.
"If the Three-Dimensional Theory is embedded into people's cognitive systems, perhaps we can develop magic that casts spells on the concept of 'dimensions'!"
Roger raised his hand, making a gesture to Dumbledore. "Headmaster Dumbledore, look."
Dumbledore looked, and saw Roger rubbing his fingertips, with tiny arcs of electricity occasionally flashing between his fingers.
"You must have felt it; I didn't use magic."
"After completely reconstructing my nervous system, I've gained a slight ability to influence nerves with consciousness and manipulate bioelectricity to a certain extent. This current is very small, but it is indeed under my control." This is not like the simple storage and discharge of electricity from an electric eel; Roger can manipulate it with great precision.
"It doesn't seem to have much significance. Any spell cast by a young wizard is more powerful in combat, and it's completely incomparable to the marvels of magic in other aspects."
"But it signifies a possibility: we can directly interfere with more things, just as we use vocal cords to release mechanical waves and lungs to manipulate airflow to some extent. We can interfere with powers that, like magic, can influence all things."
"Besides magic, we can actually manipulate other energies directly with our will."
"If we can cast spells directly on 'dimensions,' perhaps we can bypass the 'process' and directly turn those 'mediums' that we originally couldn't control into our new 'limbs.'"
"Continuously acquire new mediums, continuously use magic to transform these mediums into high-level mediums that can be moved at will, and then..."
If this step could truly be achieved, then Roger could start preparing for the next step.
That is... dimensional reduction.
When all things could be interfered with by Roger, only the self-dimension and the medium-dimension remained. All 'movement,' all changes, I was within them.
I, am change itself.
If one more dimension could be removed, then everything would be me, and I would be everything! Dumbledore heavily rubbed his temples, organizing his thoughts, and roughly understood Roger's purpose in going to such lengths.
"So, if I understand correctly, you want to construct a new kind of magic by changing how all beings perceive the world, and then use this magic to..."
"Create a 'second magic' that wizards can control, with the first magic supplying the second magic."
"Finally, using this 'second magic,' which can be accumulated and understood by us, to break the power and life form limits of wizards. Evolved wizards will also have stronger Mental Power, and in turn, the 'first magic' will also become stronger."
This method is somewhat similar to how Muggles in science fiction invent AI, which then deduces gene maps, creating genetically modified humans. These modified Muggles possess higher intelligence, and the more intelligent modified Muggles then invent even stronger AI, creating a cycle...
...Can this thing actually work?
Dumbledore was momentarily unsure.
