Interesting...
Although I do wonder what would make Time different. I always read that string theory stuff (note: I know nothing of string theory) as meaning that Time and Space are the same concept; that if a 3-dimensional object exists for 10 units of time (following the same scale as that object), then that object's volume when taking into account the Time dimension consumes 10 times more mmf.
The only difference, then, is the idea (very well conveyed by that article!) that the next dimension up is wrapped into every fraction of our dimension, thus making the sort of thing very difficult to comprehend.
Anyway, I know nothing of string theory.
I think such an engine would be interesting because it's sort of the holy grail of soft-coded software.
Program creates an interface for X dimensions, displayed in a way dictated via a simple config file. Yummy :)
