1. Measure in a single line, as length, breadth, height,
thickness, or circumference; extension; measurement; --
usually, in the plural, measure in length and breadth, or
in length, breadth, and thickness; extent; size; as, the
dimensions of a room, or of a ship; the dimensions of a
farm, of a kingdom.

[1913 Webster]
Space of dimension, extension that has length but no
breadth or thickness; a straight or curved line.
Space of two dimensions, extension which has length and
breadth, but no thickness; a plane or curved surface.
Space of three dimensions, extension which has length,
breadth, and thickness; a solid.
Space of four dimensions, as imaginary kind of extension,
which is assumed to have length, breadth, thickness, and
also a fourth imaginary dimension. Space of five or six,
or more dimensions is also sometimes assumed in
mathematics.
[1913 Webster]
2. Extent; reach; scope; importance; as, a project of large
dimensions.
[1913 Webster]
3. (Math.) The degree of manifoldness of a quantity; as, time
is quantity having one dimension; volume has three
dimensions, relative to extension.
[1913 Webster]
4. (Alg.) A literal factor, as numbered in characterizing a
term. The term dimensions forms with the cardinal numbers
a phrase equivalent to degree with the ordinal; thus,
a^2b^2c is a term of five dimensions, or of the fifth
degree.
[1913 Webster]
5. pl. (Phys.) The manifoldness with which the fundamental
units of time, length, and mass are involved in
determining the units of other physical quantities.
Note: Thus, since the unit of velocity varies directly as the
unit of length and inversely as the unit of time, the
dimensions of velocity are said to be length [divby]
time; the dimensions of work are mass [times]
(length)^2 [divby] (time)^2; the dimensions of
density are mass [divby] (length)^3.

fractal dimension
(foldoc) | fractal dimension
A common type of fractal dimension is the
Hausdorff-Besicovich Dimension, but there are several
different ways of computing fractal dimension. Fractal
dimension can be calculated by taking the limit of the
quotient of the log change in object size and the log change
in measurement scale, as the measurement scale approaches
zero. The differences come in what is exactly meant by
"object size" and what is meant by "measurement scale" and how
to get an average number out of many different parts of a
geometrical object. Fractal dimensions quantify the static
*geometry* of an object.
For example, consider a straight line. Now blow up the line
by a factor of two. The line is now twice as long as before.
Log 2 / Log 2 = 1, corresponding to dimension 1. Consider a
square. Now blow up the square by a factor of two. The
square is now 4 times as large as before (i.e. 4 original
squares can be placed on the original square). Log 4 / log 2
= 2, corresponding to dimension 2 for the square. Consider a
snowflake curve formed by repeatedly replacing ___ with _/\_,
where each of the 4 new lines is 1/3 the length of the old
line. Blowing up the snowflake curve by a factor of 3 results
in a snowflake curve 4 times as large (one of the old
snowflake curves can be placed on each of the 4 segments
_/\_). Log 4 / log 3 = 1.261... Since the dimension 1.261 is
larger than the dimension 1 of the lines making up the curve,
the snowflake curve is a fractal. [sci.fractals FAQ].

multi-user dimension
(foldoc) | Multi-User Dimension
Multi-User Dungeon
(MUD) (Or Multi-User Domain, originally "Multi-User
Dungeon") A class of multi-player interactive game, accessible
via the Internet or a modem. A MUD is like a real-time
chat forum with structure; it has multiple "locations" like
an adventure game and may include combat, traps, puzzles,
magic and a simple economic system. A MUD where characters
can build more structure onto the database that represents the
existing world is sometimes known as a "MUSH". Most MUDs
allow you to log in as a guest to look around before you
create your own character.
Historically, MUDs (and their more recent progeny with names
of MU- form) derive from a hack by Richard Bartle and Roy
Trubshaw on the University of Essex's DEC-10 in 1979. It
was a game similar to the classic Colossal Cave adventure,
except that it allowed multiple people to play at the same
time and interact with each other. Descendants of that game
still exist today and are sometimes generically called
BartleMUDs. There is a widespread myth that the name MUD was
trademarked to the commercial MUD run by Bartle on {British
Telecom} (the motto: "You haven't *lived* 'til you've *died*
on MUD!"); however, this is false - Richard Bartle
explicitly placed "MUD" in the PD in 1985. BT was upset at
this, as they had already printed trademark claims on some
maps and posters, which were released and created the myth.
Students on the European academic networks quickly improved on
the MUD concept, spawning several new MUDs (VAXMUD,
AberMUD, LPMUD). Many of these had associated
bulletin-board systems for social interaction. Because
these had an image as "research" they often survived
administrative hostility to BBSs in general. This, together
with the fact that Usenet feeds have been spotty and
difficult to get in the UK, made the MUDs major foci of
hackish social interaction there.
AberMUD and other variants crossed the Atlantic around 1988
and quickly gained popularity in the US; they became nuclei
for large hacker communities with only loose ties to
traditional hackerdom (some observers see parallels with the
growth of Usenet in the early 1980s). The second wave of
MUDs (TinyMUD and variants) tended to emphasise social
interaction, puzzles, and cooperative world-building as
opposed to combat and competition. In 1991, over 50% of MUD
sites are of a third major variety, LPMUD, which synthesises
the combat/puzzle aspects of AberMUD and older systems with
the extensibility of TinyMud. The trend toward greater
programmability and flexibility will doubtless continue.
The state of the art in MUD design is still moving very
rapidly, with new simulation designs appearing (seemingly)
every month. There is now a move afoot to deprecate the term
MUD itself, as newer designs exhibit an exploding variety of
names corresponding to the different simulation styles being
explored.

one-dimensional array
(foldoc) | one-dimensional array
An array with only one dimension; the simplest kind of
array, consisting of a sequence of items ("elements"), all of the
same type. An element is selected by an integer index that
normally starts at zero for the first element and increases by
one. The index of the last element is thus the length of the
array minus one.
A one-dimensional array is also known as a vector. It should
not be confused with a list. In some languages, e.g. Perl,
all arrays are one-dimensional and higher dimensions are
represented as arrays of pointers to arrays (which can have
different sizes and can themselves contain pointers to arrays and
so on).
A one-dimensional array maps simply to memory: the address of an
element with index i is
A(i) = A0 + i * s
where A0 is the base address of the array and s is the size of
storage used for each element, the "stride". Elements may be
padded to certain address boundaries, e.g. machine words, to
increase access speed, in which case the stride will be larger
than the amount of data in an element.
