Thanks Rob,
It's really an old problem from I.T. god Donald Knuth. He was looking for a
way to define ANY font with a finite set of parameters (MetaFont). Of
course it's impossible - font-space is infinitely-dimensioned.
As for me, I did lots of post-grad work in genetic modelling, and it's
helpful to think of evolution as a walk through a many-dimensioned
gene-space (sometimes a random walk, sometimes biased).
Anyway,
thanks,

This is probably the best analogy for n-dimensional arrays I've seen yet.
Thanks.
