Matthew,

By his own description, JS is interested in a 25-dimensional
boolean-valued description of JS and everything else, most
systems engineers I know are interested in 6-dimensional
descriptions, 3 position and 3 momentum, at a minimum,
many social science studies that I have worked on
have something between 10^2 to 10^5 dimensions
to describe each entity at each time, etc.

That is precisely why the standard textbook definition of "event"
has long been formulated at a level far more general than the
parameters of dimensionality and any reference to the nature
of the variables generating the sample space.
