Re: Chinese dimensionality

Hello, Andreas, and other contributors to this thread; thanks for
writing.

I don't think the view that time is at least two-dimensional, really
has to do with either Sinitic grammar, or with recreational or
psychedelic drug-use.

In my opinion, any person who has a spouse or a child of sufficient
age, will come to the view that time must have more than one
dimension; this is the only reasonable explanation for the fact that
two people can meet, repeatedly, in a single location, and have had
alternate histories during the meantime.

Is your Whorfian friend, or are his or her Chinese friends, family
people, by any chance?  That may be the real explanation.
