Yes, for a while there the cosomlogists and the TOE guys were
coming up with a theory a week or beter, and each one seemed
to have its own pet number of dimensions. These mathematical
models have essentially no relationship to Leary's model, which
IMO is mystical, not mathematical, and is therefore beyond the
bounds of science. I recall a review in Science magazine within
the last six months. The review atempted to categorize the various
models.
