Rod,
But what does "equal" mean in this context? I
understand that, say, two right angles are equal, but
I don't see how that can apply in this case, and so
what makes this statement "absolute".
Or are you saying that each dimension is orthogonal to
all the others? In that case I would agree, in the
sense that you don't have a new dimension unless it is
orthogonal to the others, but that would just make
this a tautology.
