What's the difference between magnitude and manifoldness?
Magnitude
Definition:
(n.) Extent of dimensions; size; -- applied to things that have length, breath, and thickness.

(n.) Anything of which greater or less can be predicated, as time, weight, force, and the like.
(n.) Greatness; grandeur.
(n.) Greatness, in reference to influence or effect; importance; as, an affair of magnitude.

Manifoldness
Definition:
(n.) Multiplicity.
(n.) A generalized concept of magnitude.
Example Sentences:
