I enjoyed that. The explanation for the first five dimensions reminded me of Madeleine L'Engle's in A Wrinkle in Time (she used the same ant example).
Whether it makes scientific sense or not, I like the way he's worked in through in a fashion that could make it plausibly useful for science fiction world-building. And isn't that ultimately the most important thing?
I also like it as a theory for explaining The Chrestomanci and The Magids (maybe Diana Wynne Jones has grasped this theory on her own instinctively? Or maybe Rob reads alot of DWJ).

Actually, that's the best explanation I've seen for the 4th and 5th dimension, but I admist past that was getting hard to grasp.
