'I'm afraid I have to say that if this question typifies your mathematical knowledge, then the prospects for your proposed proof of the Poincare conjecture are pretty dim!' It doesn't. This was merely a stumbling in my mind. Taking the bull by the horns, if we consider n-manifolds as spaces constructed from n-1-manifolds, then the n-mainfold is formed by a continous expansion of varying n-1-manifolds. The topological nature of the n-1-m's over any n-1-vector basis is enough to determine the nature of the n-manifold.
