Quote:If only it was that simple. On a two-dimensional random jump, Doug can't control the direction of the jump. I'm thinking more along the lines that at least he'll know on how close he's getting to his home dimension. Granted it's a fool's hope since the next jump has an even chance of getting further away, OTOh, it might bring him closer too.
You seem to be thinking more along the lines of an Amberite "hellride," where they transfer themselves into worlds that're more and more like the one they're looking for, until they're finally there.
Of course, it goes more complex when you start factoring in things like velocity and time (i.e..add more dimensions).
