> Is this why string theory requires higher dimensions?
No. The higher dimensions of string theory are actual physical dimensions. Configuration space dimensions are pure mathematical abstractions, and there are potentially an infinite number of them, one for every degree of freedom in the system. Look up "Hilbert space" if you want the gory details.
Right.
