But thats not the point of string theory.

The point is that the 4th dimension is something that can be measured by someone who can see things in the 4th dimension. Just like how someone living in the 2nd dimension can only see a 2 dimensional cross-section of a 3 dimension object, we as beings in the 3rd dimension can only see the 3 dimensional cross-section of our 4 dimensional selves.

You can't just say that the 4th dimension is variable (due to free will) and also say that there are 10 dimensions.
