I think this is exactly the way of calculating the number of dimensions in the various manifestations of reality. Dimesional analysis uses pretty much the same idea I think.

The variables are what make up units of a phenomena, and the dimension of a phenomena is the units of measurement for that phenomena; where D is the variable V removing -1 to take the place of measurement. In dimensional analysis this is the way we determine the meaning of dimensionality and the units or variables V form the product or phenomena of a dimension. Theoretical physics would do very well to investigate the dimensional method of dimensional analysis even though the theory's reputation has been dubbed as "bordering on mysticism". All phenomena in reality have a different dimension and depending on the variables of say a thermal gas state, a nuclear reaction, a pendulum motion, etc. are all happening in different dimensions of metric space-time. What Thomas Szirtes has done in his book Applied Dimensional Analysis and Modeling is to form Dimensional Sets composed of many variables replacing matrix computations with the analytical method of dimensions as units of measurement; lenghth, speed, duration, temperature, color, etc. This equation D=V-1 is exactly the way to determine dimensions. Some physics equations seem to construct in many cases the notion of dimension within the notion of constants and parameters. (fudging the variables through "preffered metrics" and forging dimensions as the "weights in representations") hence the weights and measures are inffered non-energetically. D=V-1 is the energetic way of reffering to extradimensional constants and parameters as variable weights and measures.
