Abstract: Much recent work in cardinal characteristics has focused on generalizing results about $omega$ to uncountable cardinals by studying analogues of classical cardinal characteristics on the generalized Baire and Cantor spaces $kapp{a}^{k}appa$ and $2^{k}appa$. In this note I look at generalizations to other function spaces, focusing particularly on the space of functions $f:omeg{a}^{o}megaoomeg{a}^{o}mega$. By considering classical cardinal invariants on Baire space in this setting I derive a number of "higher dimensional" analogues of such cardinals, ultimately introducing 18 new cardinal invariants, alongside a framework that allows for numerous others. These 18 form two separate diagrams consisting of 6 and 12 cardinals respectively, each resembling versions of the Cicho'n diagram. These ZFC-inequalities are the first main result of the paper. I then consider other relations between these cardinals, as well as the cardinal $mathfrak{c}^{+}$ and show that these results rely on additional assumptions about cardinal characteristics on $omega$. Finally, using variations of Cohen, Hechler, and localization forcing I prove a number of consistency results for possible values of the new cardinals.
