hyperspace /hi:'per-spays/ n.   A memory location that is _far_    away from where the program counter should be pointing, especially a    place that is inaccessible because it is not even mapped in by the    virtual-memory system.   "Another core dump -- looks like the program    jumped off to hyperspace somehow."   (Compare {jump off into    never-never land}.)   This usage is from the SF notion of a spaceship    jumping `into hyperspace', that is, taking a shortcut through    higher-dimensional space -- in other words, bypassing this universe.    The variant `east hyperspace' is recorded among CMU and Bliss    hackers.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
hypercube          A cube of more than three dimensions.   A single (2^0 = 1)       point (or "node") can be considered as a zero dimensional       cube, two (2^1) nodes joined by a line (or "edge") are a one       dimensional cube, four (2^2) nodes arranged in a square are a       two dimensional cube and eight (2^3) nodes are an ordinary       three dimensional cube.   Continuing this geometric       progression, the first hypercube has 2^4 = 16 nodes and is a       four dimensional shape (a "four-cube") and an N dimensional       cube has 2^N nodes (an "N-cube").   To make an N+1 dimensional       cube, take two N dimensional cubes and join each node on one       cube to the corresponding node on the other.   A four-cube can       be visualised as a three-cube with a smaller three-cube       centred inside it with edges radiating diagonally out (in the       fourth dimension) from each node on the inner cube to the       corresponding node on the outer cube.          Each node in an N dimensional cube is directly connected to N       other nodes.   We can identify each node by a set of N       {Cartesian coordinates} where each coordinate is either zero       or one.   Two node will be directly connected if they differ in       only one coordinate.          The simple, regular geometrical structure and the close       relationship between the coordinate system and binary numbers       make the hypercube an appropriate topology for a parallel       computer interconnection network.   The fact that the number of       directly connected, "nearest neighbour", nodes increases with       the total size of the network is also highly desirable for a       {parallel computer}.          (1994-11-17)

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Hyperstrict          A function which is hyperstrict in some argument will fully       evaluate that argument.   To fully evaluate an object, evaluate       it to WHNF and if it is a constructed data object (e.g. a list       or tuple) then fully evaluate every component and so on       recursively.   Thus a hyperstrict function will fail to       terminate if its argument or any component or sub-component of       its argument fails to terminate (i.e. if its argument is not       "total").
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Habergeon       an Old English word for breastplate. In Job 41:26 (Heb. shiryah)       it is properly a "coat of mail;" the Revised Version has       "pointed shaft." In Ex. 28:32, 39:23, it denotes a military       garment strongly and thickly woven and covered with mail round       the neck and breast. Such linen corselets have been found in       Egypt. The word used in these verses is _tahra_, which is of       Egyptian origin. The Revised Version, however, renders it by       "coat of mail." (See {ARMOUR}.)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Hebrews, Epistle to       (1.) Its canonicity. All the results of critical and historical       research to which this epistle has been specially subjected       abundantly vindicate its right to a place in the New Testament       canon among the other inspired books.                (2.) Its authorship. A considerable variety of opinions on       this subject has at different times been advanced. Some have       maintained that its author was Silas, Paul's companion. Others       have attributed it to Clement of Rome, or Luke, or Barnabas, or       some unknown Alexandrian Christian, or Apollos; but the       conclusion which we think is best supported, both from internal       and external evidence, is that Paul was its author. There are,       no doubt, many difficulties in the way of accepting it as       Paul's; but we may at least argue with Calvin that there can be       no difficulty in the way of "embracing it without controversy as       one of the apostolical epistles."                (3.) Date and place of writing. It was in all probability       written at Rome, near the close of Paul's two years'       imprisonment (Heb. 13:19,24). It was certainly written before       the destruction of Jerusalem (13:10).                (4.) To whom addressed. Plainly it was intended for Jewish       converts to the faith of the gospel, probably for the church at       Jerusalem. The subscription of this epistle is, of course,       without authority. In this case it is incorrect, for obviously       Timothy could not be the bearer of it (13:23).                (5.) Its design was to show the true end and meaning of the       Mosaic system, and its symbolical and transient character. It       proves that the Levitical priesthood was a "shadow" of that of       Christ, and that the legal sacrifices prefigured the great and       all-perfect sacrifice he offered for us. It explains that the       gospel was designed, not to modify the law of Moses, but to       supersede and abolish it. Its teaching was fitted, as it was       designed, to check that tendency to apostatize from Christianity       and to return to Judaism which now showed itself among certain       Jewish Christians. The supreme authority and the transcendent       glory of the gospel are clearly set forth, and in such a way as       to strengthen and confirm their allegiance to Christ.                (6.) It consists of two parts: (a) doctrinal (1-10:18), (b)       and practical (10:19-ch. 13). There are found in it many       references to portions of the Old Testament. It may be regarded       as a treatise supplementary to the Epistles to the Romans and       Galatians, and as an inspired commentary on the book of       Leviticus.
