V. Proposals for extra-dimensional universes. Sparsely populated passages : multiverses and sequestering ; Leaky passages : fingerprints of extra dimensions ; Voluminous passages : large extra dimensions ; Warped passage : a solution to the hierarchy problem ; The warped annotated "Alice" ; Profound passage : an infinite extra dimension ; A reflective and expansive passage
