String theory, French horns, and the infrastructure of cyberspace

Abstract

This paper explores the ways in which means of imagining multidimensionality drawn from the physical sciences might be useful in creating infrastructure for virtual domains, affording not only scalability but an open-endedness that allows for future developments as technologies and attitudes toward them change. More importantly, perhaps, such an infrastructure might prove more resistant to the proprietary ideologies that have come to dominate cyberspace as it is presently constituted, thus helping to preserve the utopian potential of virtual domains.
