We can determine each point in a space by a real number. Think of a,b,c
being its Cartesian coordinates. Then the number made of the cifers
...a(n+1)b(n+1)c(n+1)a(n)b(n)c(n)a(n-1)b(n-1)c(n-1)... where t(n) is the
n-th cifer of number t, it is a real number which represents the point. So,
our tridirectional space is onedimensional, having only the dimension of
distance defined by three directions of it.
