/ Back to dimensionality. When you are \

| like taking a trip. You know, when you |
| take a trip from California to Netanya, |
| you don't go straight south and then |
| straight west and then straight north. |
| It's not orthogonal. There are little |
| bits at the beginning. Then you take |
| bigger hops on the planes and then you |
| take littler hops at the end. Language |
| works the same way, it's fractal. There |
| is little orthogonality. At least |
| apparently; you can have orthogonal |
| views of it, there are orthogonal |
| subsets. But there are multiple |
| orthogonal subsets. At first glance it |
| just looks like a network, and you have |
| to navigate the geography. |
