Oh, U of Queensland, well my problem is I
studied the subject back in the 70's partly
with a Prof Greub at the U of T. We didn't
discuss publishing, we were looking at other
ways of examining nonorthogonal geometry.

Mathematicians are surprisingly flexible,
so thinking of dimensionality as a variable
is within their ken, but physicists resist
that complication.

But consider this, as a object moves faster
it's time slows down and it's length contracts.
At the speed "c" those two dimensions are
gone, time stops and there is no length, but
area still exists, at least according to SR.

The object has gone from 4D to 2D.

An examination of the transition of this
dimensional variation is a reasonable thing.

Is it sudden or is it related to relative
motion?

When considering an accelerating reference,
the term
"partial interdimensional transformation"
becomes realistic, as the dimensionality
is changing.

So let's look about for evidence. Well we can
find that when considering Mercury's orbit.
It orbits according to 1/r^(2.000 000 18) and
not Newton's flat 1/r^2.

For 99% of researcher's it's a curiousity,
that some mathematical masochists would enjoy.
