        We’ve never seen anything 2 dimensional. Everything we can see has some form of all 3 dimensions in it. Even shadows are 3 dimensional. We conceptualize them as 2 dimensional on a wall, but they have depth. (Think of how when you see a line it’s actually 2 dimensional due to the width of the line, then apply that concept to depth as well)

        And this is a 2d projection of a 3d projection of a basic 4d shape that we literally cannot comprehend

        Two dimensional projections can be represented in three dimensional space. Even single dimensional entities are welcome here.

          If you look at a sheet of paper on edge, you can see a poor man’s representation of one dimension, while hiding an additional dimension, made in the only way you can actually have a thing to hold with yet one more

          Edit: make guillotines great again, or whatever the tesseract deems uncouth
