My favorite test for this sort of thing is asking questions about "President Bush." Any successful engine is going to have to ask for clarification: Do you mean senior or junior? This chokes on questions about Bush.

I've always thought a 4d first person game where you could toggle pairs of dimensions could be really interesting. At any point you could swap between wxy/wxz/xyz. The rendering would be standard 2d projections of the 3 dim

I had the same thought until I realized that Human capital is a lot harder to move than buildings. Yes, it's possible to move a company away from a city, but 10 years is a long time. Long enough that a company would lose a ton of emp
