Sure, that's a good way, but certainly doesn't give one the right intuition on a 4d object overall. A 4-ball / 3-sphere is easy because of it is symmetric, but slices through 3d cube can be crazy (hexagons, how?). How does the 4d double-rotation look for you? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotatio...

A certain cross-section through a 3d cube, giving a hexagon.

There's a building in Berlin with my initials on it. That means it belongs to me, right?

A Pup in a black, grey and white leather Mr S hood, and a chain collar.  The Pup is wearing far too much leather in bright sunshine (grey shirt, different grey tie, and differenter grey waistcoat, with black blazer, black 3/4 length coat, and other grey gloves).  The Pup is excitedly pointing up to a sign on a building which says "HVL"

For 24d conceptualising 😱, does this have anything to do with the existence of the Leech Lattice? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leech_l...

* Why there is a cross-product in 7d (and 3d) but nowhere else. I.e. a way of taking two directing and naturally giving a third orthogonal direction? (In 3d, it has to do with unit quaternions, which gives a way to multiply points on the 3-sphere = surface of 4-ball)

So do you have some intuition for any of the following? * Why 4d is so weird: there are spaces which topologically are the same shape as 4d space, but not smoothly (Exotix R4). It's too high-d for some methods, and too low-d for others, so crazy stuff cab happen

So even "visualising" in 3d is witchcraft for some of us. (Shout out to all the people with aphantasia!)

*Dog noise* somewhere in Berlin. (Starting to post here, with some pics from Folsom.)

A Pup in a black and grey Dainese T-Age leather bike suit, chonky metal collar, and a white, grey and black leather Mr S hood.  The Pup is pointing at a sticker on a pole.
A zoomed in view of the sticker.  It reads DOG NOISE.
