to Meaningless nonsense
Almost everyone in the world gets confused about that and the problem is physics especially Einstein and the 4th dimension they always speak in riddles. So the word dimension has two meanings.
a measurable extent of some kind, such as length, breadth, depth, or height."the final dimensions of the pond were 14 ft. x 8 ft"Similar:proportionsmeasurementsextentsizelengthwidthbreadthdepthareavolumecapacityfootageacreage

.an aspect or feature of a situation, problem, or thing."sun-dried tomatoes add a new dimension to this sauce"
So he used definition 2 and confused the entire world and they are still completely confused.
Time is the 4th dimension an aspect of the other three since you cannot measure with only one point, you need two. And you cannot measure an event without a stretch of time. Like speed or acceleration.
There are only 3 spatial dimensions.
Hilbert of Hilbert Space or hyperspace or n dimensional space, that is math, not reality in terms of geometry of the real world.
All space can be described using the coordinate system.
But as a programmer you can have as many dimensions as you want and you can add attributes as a dimension. You see?
I would show you see code but people might get confused so an iteration like this is pseudo code to simplify it.
For j  is assigned one to 100 do
For i is assigned one to 100 do.
So now if i and j represent a variable, while the code is executed you can then refer to i or j as it runs.
So now you would say if i  equals 10 and j equals 10 at this moment make it red if i and j equals 15 make it blue.
You see you make a bitmap. And determine the colors. in 2 dimensions. It has width and height.
Why do we use j and i and not x and y? We are going to use x, and y, when we say the rest.
So we will refer to i and j and then refer to 10 or 15 by x and y.
So then for 3 dimensions we merely add another line and I will use k.
So now you have
for j:= 0 to 99 do
for i:= 0 to 99 do
for k:= 0 to 99 do
if pixel (x,y,z) is blue make it red.
Ok so now you have checked every pixel in a cube and turned it blue if it is red.
So you can go further and make a point x,y,z more than just a point in space add an attribute.
So then we have 4 lines of code and the forth line of code says if that point is a Ppoint that you previously declared as a Ppoint not a pixel, since when you want to use it as a pixel you can take x,y,z,  but lets use A as a variable that gives it something more than just color. Lets add a filter so then pixel x,y,z is red and blue but it has a shadow on it or it is lighter than the others or we are going to blend it or we are going to add specular to make it shiny. So we make it lighter than normal blue so when you see it it has shade or shine or any number of filters.
So that is as simple as I can explain it. And hopefully people will get the message by simply understanding that a coordinate system can describe any point in any space. using x,y, and z.
