While on the planet [[Desolation]], the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] claimed that the ability to engineer dimensions was beyond human comprehension.

However, the [[Fourth Doctor]] had once attempted to demonstrate the principles of transdimensional engineering to [[Leela]], by using two boxes of different size. He placed the larger box on the [[TARDIS console]], and then walked to stand next to Leela and asked which one was bigger, which was pointed out by Leela, to which the Doctor stated it was smaller which was because of the distance. The Doctor said that if the large box was kept away at that distance, and had it nearby the larger box would fit inside the smaller box. Leela called that "silly," much to the Doctor's annoyance.([[TV]]: ''[[The Robots of Death (TV story)|The Robots of Death]]'') | However, the [[Fourth Doctor]] had once attempted to demonstrate the principles of transdimensional engineering to [[Leela]], by using two boxes of different size.

One account suggested that the [[First Doctor]] had been able to make his [[the Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] bigger on the inside than on the outside was because the Ship had allowed him to personally observe the [[dimension]]s and [[multi-dimension]]s which all "existed together in one place with all the infinite others". From this enlightened point of view, physical size in one particular dimension became simply irrelevant.
