Technically, no, though many philosophers (as opposed to physicists or
mathematicians) will say it does. The number of dimensions does not
follow from R^-2, but if you live in a 3D world then R^-2 follows...

I read the link you gave, but have not found why it does not prove it.
The closest I got (which was not stated) is that if N>3 for our
universe, then the laws of physics are much more complex than what we
know. It seems very clear that if the laws we know are a close
approximation of the "real" laws of physics, then the only explanation
to the experiments we are conducting is that the world only has 3
physical dimensions.<br>
