This is looking nicely Rackety. :)

Running
(enum-var-dim n value)
outputs me something of the form
'(5.0 8.0 . 6.0)
with one point between the last  numbers. Where does it come from ?

That's an improper end to a list.  It means a structure of pairs in which the CDR (right element) of the last pair is not the null list.

> (cons 'a (cons 'b (cons 'c 'd)))
'(a b c . d)

When building up a list via `cons`, you want to start with the null list, so you end up instead like this:

> (cons 'a (cons 'b (cons 'c (cons 'd '()))))
'(a b c d)

If you want to supplement Racket's discussion of pairs and lists (I don't recall how much it said), basically any Scheme textbook will work.  SICP drew diagrams with boxes and arrows that can help. https://mitpress.mit.edu/sites/default/files/sicp/full-text/book/book.html
