Space-Time Migration
How It Works:
Tobi's Space-Time Migration (STM) is a space-time technique that warps Tobi and or anything Tobi is touching to another dimension.
Figure 1.
Figure 1: While Tobi is using STM, (1.) his body remains visible in the real world, "Dimension A", but (2.) his physical body is located in the alternate dimension, "Dimension B".
Figure 2.
Figure 2: When Tobi is attacked, in this case by rasengan, (1.) the attack will pass through his intangible form in Dimension A, while (2.) his physical body remains untouched in Dimension B. Thus, (3.) when Tobi returns to Dimension A he will be unharmed.
Example:
Figure 3.
Figure 3: When Tobi is attacked and (1.) the attack is warped using Kamui, both (2.) Tobi and the attack exist in the same space with relation to one another in Dimension B. Therefore, (3.) Tobi is injured when he returns to Dimension A.

The Issue With How it Works: Parallel Dimensions or Not?
As discussed in Figure 3. of "How it Works", even when two bodies are transported to the alternate dimension by different jutsu and users, the bodies are transported in proportional location with relation to one another. This suggests that the alternate dimension parallel to the real world: it is equivalent in size and lay out to that of the real world. Otherwise, separate entities would not be located in the same configuration to one another in the alternate dimension.
However, if we look at the alternate dimension itself, it has a surreal layout:
that is not in the same configuration as the real world land where the transportation took place:
Additionally, when reappearing, Tobi doesn't reappear in the same location as where he initially warped:
This means that the alternate dimension does not have an exact spacial parallelism to the real world, so it appears we have contradiction.

This means that the alternate dimension does not have an exact spacial parallelism to the real world, so it appears we have contradiction.
Conclusions:
- STM (and Kamui) warp to an alternate dimension in spatial relation to the real world.
- When using STM, Tobi has a physical presence in the alternate dimension.
- The alternate dimension does not have an exact parallel structure to the real world, in contradiction to what is expected.
- Objects and people located in the alternate dimension do not necessarily remain in the same location with respect to where they were originally stored. Tobi has control over where objects are stored and transported.
[*]Future "Kamui warped attacks" as featured in chapter 596 will no longer work as Tobi can warp to an different, unpredictable location within the alternate dimension. This means Kakashi can no longer warp attacks to the location of Tobi's physical body.
