How many dimensions, aka degrees of freedom, are there?

There's no limit.

Perhaps an infinite number of dimensions converge to a finite limit.

Well, we see three macroscopic dimensions. String theory postulates more dimensions that are somehow smaller or "curled up". It becomes 3 + smaller and smaller and smaller... and ever smaller ... an infinite number of ever more smaller and smaller dimensions... pi dimensions...

Sounds like an infinite series....
Wouldn't it be swell if Pi were somewhere in the dimensionality of the multiverse?

Pi is in everything

It is both finite and infinite, an absurd entailment of its self-described nature. A point represents the concurrence of potential and actuality. Each point is the point within the endless intersubjectivity of point correspondence.

Sounds either paradoxical or just not easily referenceable.

The point in question being the culmination of its own abstraction and specificity, I mean. You could think of it as a symbol for any moment in time, any entity, a process viewed in totality, a self-nesting dynamism, basically the instantiation of de facto self-referencing existence.
It is referenceable by nature. That is the defining property of existence: It can be referenced.
However, the referencing itself is entangled with the "object" referenced. Separation can produce both clarity and confusion. Perspective is a tricky.... thing.
