Thank you for your reply! Lurkers interested in the point you raise might enjoy some of Penrose's books on the subject - he relies on the Incompleteness Theorems to illustrate that Artificial Intelligence is impossible.

That might be so. Goedel was the best and in the same league with Einstein and Heisenberg. Too bad Heisenberg stuck to the losing side of WW II, he should have come to Princeton.

Freepers and Lurkers wanting to wade deeper into the subject of dimensionality - especially as it relates to consciousness and the mind - might enjoy these links:

PSYCHE: Dimensionality (list of links)

Sirag: Hyperspace Reality

betty boop, you might find the second link particularly interesting considering our previous discussions of a universal vacuum field. Most of it is historical and putting string theory in context, but he gets into related concepts in the last few paragraphs.
