I dunno if this is /g/s field, but QUANTUM MECHANICS:
Does it seem to anybody else, that quantum theory seems to describe a universe of limited availability of information?.

If a being exists in 2d on a piece of paper, and you side another piece of paper through their world, they can PHYSICALLY AND LITTERALLY only gather information about the 'cross cut' of paper they can see at any one time.

It seems to follow, for me, that quantum theory is describing the gaps in knowledge from interaction with a whole other dimension of existence:

It sounds like you don't actually know anything about quantum mechanics.

There's two views to it. the proven maths and conclusions that represent 'unknowns' as algorythms and probability waves "It may or may not be this state at any one time"
and the expanding ideas that try to merge it with current 'open' questions like brine walls and string, Q entanglement, gravity and photons.
Higgs boson appearing from nowhere and then dissapearing back in to nowhere

I'm not just looking at the mathematics/algorithms, but the thoughts behind it, the 'analogies' that it's trying to explain

I mean a direct, exact higher dimension. (Only one, because anymore than one would not be relevant until we completely understand the one above us which may never occur)

the 2d man couldn't comprehend the 3d world despite his highest order sciences, but he can still measure it and describe it with algorithms, assuming he could find how to see more than a 'cross section' of 3d at a time.

3d sees a 'cross section' of 4d at any one time, which is not enough to gain knowledge, thus the lack of information i'm talking about in our explination of 'collapsing probability' etc etc etc

Seriously, do you know what you are talking about? They are different dimensions and therefore represent independent sets of values. All of them are equally relevant all the time if they exist.

What you said is 100% true, but in what i'm describing, you couldn't begin the slightest, smallest, most basic thought-experiment of the 4th dimension if you are a 2dimensional being with the analogous knowledge of the next level up of dimension that we have.

But we can do thought experiments in N dimensional spaces. Hell, we can do them in infinite dimensional spaces. Such is the magic of mathematics. Nothing makes one dimension different from another [thus why rotational symmetry works].

[Also, your entire reasoning for why higher dimensional spaces may exist simply doesn't make sense. String theorist didn't one day say "Hey, maybe there are greater than 3+1 dimensions." Their math required higher dimensionality for the string harmonics to work out properly.]

Undisciplined, far too 'what if...', sure.
I don't think that's a bad thing though I think it is necessary to step out of the regiment to advance past obstacles.

I'm an obstacle breaker, I see patterns not solutions.
