In our reality it has 3 spatial dimensions and 1 time dimension(as far as we know). Continuum refers to continuity. It isn't broken up into chunks. In Second Life, when you teleport to a new land I imagine you are leaving one server and moving onto another. Each server is its own sub reality.Each server is a physical location -within this reality-. There are no "dimensions" in the box, understand? There are descriptions of variables, there is implementation - you aren't teleporting anywhere, your character doesn't even move so far as the engine is concerned (the background moves around the character). This should be obvious...if you've ever run "100yards" in a game...despite your screen being approx half an inch deep........
Quote:To mathematically describe the area of a room of your home, we would use the formula: Area=Length x Width. To mathematically describe the area of a room in a Second Life house.....we would use the formula: Area= Length x Width.We might, but Second Life won't. Second life will use a command that pulls a file. That's how Second Life describes your house, mathematically. Any measurement you might make regarding your Second Life house as if it were an actual house rather than a file that contained artwork....would be an imposition, and the game engine couldn't do a damned thing with it.
Your "observations" are misunderstanding of computing from first principles to implementation. But hats off to the designers of second life....they;ve apparently convinced you that rather than arranging pretty pictures...they've opened a portal to another dimension, chock..full...of rabbits.
