It would be there that the transition between spaces occurred. Where the spacetime we live in "froze" out of the higher space from whence it sprang. The freezing out of the universe from that higher space would be, in effect, the Big Bang. Whilst universes may come and go in the higher space much like virtual particles out of the quantum froth, when they reach a threshold level of energy, the "universe bubble" "detaches" itself from that higher space by lowering its "degrees of freedom" (if you think of physical dimensions as degrees of freedom of existence or mathematical movement) and expands "outside" that higher spacetime.

Forgive me if I am sounding really dumb here. I am trying to follow the concepts.
Is what you are describing here a form of the big bounce universe as opposed to the big bang? Where our universe is expanding from a singularity "interface" from a previously collapsing universe?
