I don't have a position about whether the game in question is a 4D game or not, but of course it's possible to have 4D (or even higher dimensions) representations projected to 2D, just as it's possible to have 3D projected to 2D.
Whether the fourth dimension is a meaningful REAL WORLD object is controversial, but the same is true of a lot of things in mathematics.
You don't appear to understand how dimensions work in mathematics.
ONE multidimensional construct is the three dimensions of standard space, with the fourth dimension being time. But that's not the only valid multidimensional construct.
yes. consider that if one dimension is a point, two dimensions are a collection of points in a plane, three dimensions is a collection of planes in a "cube", then four dimensions would be a collection of cubes in a hypercube.
basically a hypercube is a cube in which every face is another cube.
Math is awesome!
ReplyDeleteya, it really awesome!!!!!!!!!

Again, in the case of n-dimensional projections, all of the dimensions are space; none of them are time.
