Which leads me to wonder what a lawyer in our traditionally observable dimensions would say (not to mention an extra-dimensional lawyer).

Marin County had the highest median at $850,000; Solano County had the lowest at $389,000. The median price for a Bay Area condo was $410,000. By contrast, the nationwide median price for an existing detached home is just under $190,000. Given these rates for 3D (or 4D) physical living residences, it sounds to me as if Keats is offering the extra-dimensions at significantly reduced prices. What a bargain....

A region is 65,536 sqm
A private island region costs either $195 per month or $295 per month depending upon when it was bought
Mainland pricing ranges from $3 per 1000 sqm to $10 per 1000 sqm

It forced the programmers and managers to begin to make arbitrary (dictatorial) decisions not in keeping with the spirit of ruleless, open, social connecting. Would experimentally-validated theoretical constructs, regarding these extra-dimensional properties, demonstrate a similar contractual need, making those who live and/or work in the SanFran physical environments to pay for moving through the spaces and dimensions????

The whole planet is only a tiny tiny fraction of even the observable universe, so how much can it be worth? Meanwhile, I found another author who analyzes the standard model based on the Clifford algebraic form of the fermion quantum numbers (the "fermion cube"). But he is approaching it from a Lagrangian point of view and has written a nice version of the Lagrangian. The mysterious article is on this <a href="http://federation.g3z.com/Physics/#StandardModel" rel="nofollow">website</a>, with an anonymous author. I'm seeing if this will give me a natural geometric description of the gauge bosons.

Now I wonder if there isn't some kind of law that limits the size of extra dimensions that he can sell. Like, you'd only get the first 3 meters perpendicular to the brane or so. I mean, I don't know for sure how it is in the US but e.g. in Germany your property belongs to you only up to x feet underground, and also you can't (not even theoretically) occupy the whole space above your property. For whatever reason this makes me think about the Mary Poppins movie, where she pulls this huge lamp our of her small bag. I've always thought, there must be more volume inside than the surface makes it appear. Should we try to sell extra dimensional bags?
