"In mathematics, the dimension of an object is an intrinsic property independent of the space in which the object is embedded. For example, a point on the unit circle in the plane can be specified by two Cartesian coordinates, but one can make do with a single coordinate (the polar coordinate angle), so the circle is 1-dimensional even though it exists in the 2-dimensional plane. This intrinsic notion of dimension is one of the chief ways the mathematical notion of dimension differs from its common usages."

Somewhat off-topic... I hope you'll be above minding that. But I've just finished "The Whisperer in the Darkness", by the glorious Lovecraft. What a supreme work of art! If you believe in the Outer Ones, get hold of this novella. Enough said.
