construct

I'm not sure if it's applicable in your context, but I think in mathematical modelling and other related fields, the word 'construct' is indeed used as a noun; but I don't have specific personal knowledge to know whether this is appropriate or not here.

"higher order" + "one-dimensional construct" gets a few Googles

Thanks, Jane! :-))
agree Nick Lingris : "higher order" and "unidimensional construct" get even more Gh's. "higher-order construct" is pretty common. And here, on risk, you have a "higher-order unidimensional construct". http://www.agsm.ucr.edu/faculty/pages/pavlou/pavlou_IJEC03.p...

model

a guess but a unidimensional model is often used/seen and this would work with a superior order/rank or am I looking at this from a mathematical point of view which doesn't fit your context ?
