(7) Mathematic space and physical space. In mathematics, the multi-dimensional variable may be called as the multi-dimensional space. In the physics, there are the one-dimensional space (line), the two-dimensional space (surface) and the three-dimensional spaces (body), but no higher dimensional space. Multi-dimensional space of mathematics can’t be transplanted directly to the physics. If it is smaller than or equal to three dimension (no including time), which is corresponding in mathematics and physics.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
