So where would YOU start looking for sentient pearwood? Oh, and
plans might not hurt I suppose, I am not sure I have the
multi-dimensional thing down pat. Any Ancient Craftsmen from the
Counterweight Continent lurking in this group?

P,

I think what you're looking for would be a "Foldbox" - which, like a
TARDIS is "Dimentionally Trancendental", i.e. Bigger on the inside
than it is on the outside, but without the time & transport
functions.

See Heinlein's "Glory Road" for further description.


Nahh, a Sapient Pearwood Luggage is a much more useful device in that
among other things it eats your enemies and finds you no matter _how_
hard you try to lose it.
