Okay, this is really showing my ignorance but why 6?

You start off with 4 (3 space plus one time (ignoring 11-dimensional space-time)) and add which dimensions exactly? Can the individual interactions between wave/particles be reduced to 2 dimensions? Aren't they going to interact along the whole range of forces they exert: gravitational, weak, electromagnetic, strong?

3 dimensions for position + 3 dimensions for speed
3 dimensions for momentum in other words? Surely it cannot be that simple. That's astounding.
