Deflating Hyperspace

[grladams at teleport.com]

Well I think it's a way to show how Yashmeen and her form of mathematics,
the less popular one, is included into a rarified perception, there's
something special about the ability to time travel, whether it is with the
ability to sight her eyes down a spine of time, that fits a structure
someone else might call the fourth dimension, to be able to see on one side
and the other, it's the ability to be able to see how it's gonna be on the
flipside, on the other side of the Moebius strip..

What context does this put the math and science of ATD into?  I mean, when
TRP talks about quaternions, Riemann space, and zeta functions, is he
merely name-dropping?  Calling forth the atmosphere of the science and math
communities of the early 20th century?  Calling forth the atmosphere of the
popular understanding of science and math of that day?  How much of the
math and science does TRP appear to understand from what he writes in ATD? 
This is some of the science and math insight those insightless of us could
use help with.
