Default Dimensionality

Dimensionality is why things appear to shrink the further into the
distance they travel from you. Apparent dimensions or size gets
smaller with
greater distance.

Look down a long coridor. It appears to shrink in the distance.

Angular magnification of binoculars or a telescope reverses this.
