I believe "higher dimension"'s meaning is context dependend. In some it may mean "higher than 3", in others "higher than 5". On top of that I don't think an article can be written about this vague term. -- MarSch 11:01, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
'Higher dimension' could be OK, but the reason ≥ 5 is used in manifold theory deserves to be mentioned. There are obvious problems with the abstract mathematics page. Calling a 'fractional dimension' a dimension with the same status is confusing/buzzword generation; to say this properly, something about what dimension theory is (intrinsic definition of dimension) is probably necessary. So it could be omitted. Charles Matthews 21:32, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
