checkers-like pegboard game in 72-space. The goal of the game is to advance<br />
a peg as far as possible from an initial configuration of pegs. Using an argument<br />
based on the golden mean, the authors demonstrate bounds for how<br />
far a peg can travel as well as how many pegs are needed to achieve a particular<br />
goal. Finally, they view the game as automata moving about so as to<br />
achieve a collective goal.)<br />

Journal of Imaging Technology. 15(2): 89—95. (The authors design algorithms<br />
for Cartesian hyperspace graphics. The hidden volume algorithm<br />
clips and performs volume removal in four dimensions. The shadow algorithm<br />
constructs shadow hypervolumes that it intersects with illuminated<br />
hypersurfaces. The shading algorithm performs solid shading on hyperobjects.<br />
The raytracing algorithm introduces a viewing device model that projects<br />
from 4-D space to 2-D space.)<br />

dimension. Physics. Letters B (Netherlands) 215: 59-63. (The authors argue<br />
that in an eternal chaotic inflationary universe, the number of uncompactified<br />
dimensions can change locally. As a result, the universe divides into an<br />
exponentially large number of independent inflationary domains [miniuniverses]<br />
of different dimension.)<br />
