gollark: You can interpret 4D as "3D+time" or "4 spatial dimensions", I guess.
gollark: The fourth *spatial* dimension, should such a thing exist, wouldn't be, no.
gollark: We can understand it in terms of 4-dimensional vectors or whatever, but that's very abstract, and I think it can be projected down to 2D, though it looks odd.
