The CMB anisotropy depends sensitively upon the slope and amplitude of primordial density and gravitational wave fluctuations, the baryon density, the Hubble constant, the cosmological constant, the ionization history, {\it etc.} We report on recent work showing how well multi-scale measurements of the anisotropy power spectrum can resolve these factors. We identify a hypersurface in cosmic parameter space that can be accurately localized by observations, but along which the likelihood will hardly vary. Other cosmic observations will be needed to break this degeneracy.
