A dimensionally transcendental (sometimes called transcendentally dimensional) object can appear larger in the inside than the outside, made possible by transcendental engineering.
The Doctor once explained the principle to Leela by using the analogy of how a larger cube can appear to be able to fit inside a smaller one if the larger cube is further away, yet immediately accessible at the same time. He described this as "a key Time Lord discovery" (DW: The Robots of Death).
- This implies that the exterior and the interior of a transcendental object, in this case the Doctor's TARDIS exist in separate dimensions.
The Doctor himself also humorously pointed out that dimensionally transcendental means no more than that an object is bigger on the inside than an on the outside. (BBCR: The Paradise of Death)
A Time Lord with a TARDIS similar to the Doctor's (Mortimus in this case) controlled the relationship between the interior and exterior sizes of their TARDIS via the dimensional stabiliser (DW: The Time Meddler)
Known dimensionally transcendental objects other than TARDISes include Dalek time machines, the SIDRATs constructed by the War Chief, the Genesis Ark, and (according to their owner at least) the Doctor's pockets. (DW: The Chase, The War Games, Doomsday, The Runaway Bride)
The Doctor was also able to temporarily expand the interior dimensions of a boarding house in Cheldon Bonniface to allow all the guests at Benny's wedding to stay there. (NA: Happy Endings)
