But can you understand philisophically that the entrance to the fourth
dimension would be in the center of the equilateral pyramid, just as
the entrance to the third dimension is in the center of the
equilateral triangle? There could mathematically be an infinite
number of them - whether or they trully exist in reality, or not. Two
zero dimensional points enclose the first dimension. Three one
dimensional lines enclose the second dimension. Four two dimensional
triangles enclose the third dimension. Five three dimensional
pyramids enclose the fourth dimension. Six four dimensional
superpyramids enclose the fifth dimension, and so on.
