the three spatial dimensions;
the single temporal dimension of an immutable timeline;
the two temporal dimensions of a mutable timeline;
the one or more inter-cosmic dimensions of a multiverse.
Question included:
How many of these dimensions can be incorporated into the 4N-dimensional framework of the Time Patrol universe?
Can there be a megamultiverse?
I raise these questions again because I am currently exploring the ten or eleven dimensions of Alan Moore's Jerusalem. See also here.

Paul:
"Can there be a megamultiverse?"
To quote Prince Rupert, or PA's version of him, anyway:
"I dare not say what limits God has laid on His creating,"...
Kaor, DAVID!
Dang! Why didn't I think of quoting that? It's such a true, appropriate, and apt answer to Paul's question!
Poul Anderson has written so many quotable and wise things!

I suspect Poul had heard about a certain incident about Einstein & Bohr when he put those words into Prince Rupert's mouth.
Einstein liked inventing phrases such as "God does not play dice," "The Lord is subtle but not malicious." On one occasion Bohr answered, "Einstein, stop telling God what to do."
Kaor, Jim!
Ha! That was amusing. I think I read about that incident somewhere.
Ad astra! Sean
