4RTH DIMENSION
Feels like leaving Flatland. By tracking all four co-ordinates together, we map out in real time how a music moves in four dimensions. Time is no longer spatialized but integrated and concretized as a fourth dimension. In writing space and body are transparent. In this sense where we’re going is neither unperspectival, i.e. a two-dimensional rendering nor is it three-dimensional. So I don’t see a problem other see. https://t.co/elSqwwAi4Uj Mar 26, 2020 So if you’re looking to bust a genre you’re probably looking in the wrong place. The writing of the future is closer to aperspective. The antithesis of ‘perspectival’ is ‘unperspective’ – the lack of perspective or no perspective. In math, when you go from 3 to 4 dimensions, there is a sharp switch from visual geometric intuitions to symbol-rewriting intuitions, where your right brain gets trained on patterns in how the symbols move around. assembling bigger jigsaw pictures becomes dramatically harder because the space is larger than your visual intuitions can cover.
Feels like leaving Flatland. In addition to the usual three spatial co-ordinates, these notes have an extra label, which can act like a co-ordinate along space time. By tracking all four co-ordinates together, we map out in real time how a music moves in four dimensions

the two-dimensional surface of a (three-dimensional) ball in three-dimensional space is a 2-sphere, often simply called a sphere, the three-dimensional boundary of a (four-dimensional) 4-ball in four-dimensional Euclidean is a 3-sphere, also known as a glome.

Think of illogical, logical, and alogical or immoral, moral, and amoral. We use “aperspectival” to clearly emphasize the need of overcoming the mere antithesis of perspective or no perspective. Aperspectival’ is not to be thought of as merely the opposite of ‘perspectival’; the antithesis of ‘perspectival’ is ‘unperspectival.’
While the three common axes are generally referred to as the x, y, and z axes, Added to them, however, is another axis entirely the fourth falls on the w axis. Mobius, for example, understood that, in this dimension, a three dimensional object could be taken and rotated on to its mirror image.
So I expect good writing to look a lot like a mathematical extension of the concept of three-dimensional into four-dimensional space. So I don’t see a problem other see. https://t.co/elSqwAi4Uj
So if you’re looking to bust a genre you’re probably looking in the wrong place. Time is no longer spatialized but integrated and concretized as a fourth dimension. By this means it renders time, is expressed in an intensified and valid form as the present.
Three-dimensional space is the simplest possible abstraction of the observation that one only needs three numbers, dimensions, to describe the sizes or locations of objects in the everyday world The writing of the future is closer to aperspectival. Mar 26, 2020
In writing space and body are transparent. In this sense where we’re going is neither unperspectival, i.e., a two-dimensional rendering nor is it perspectival, i.e., a three-dimensional.

In math, when you go from 3 to 4 dimensions, there is a sharp switch from visual geometric intuitions to symbol-rewriting intuitions, where your right brain gets trained on patterns in how the symbols move around rather than the underlying shapes. When this happens, you quickly lose a sense for the forest over the trees, assembling bigger jigsaw pictures becomes dramatically harder because the space is larger than your visual intuitions can cover… this happens with words too
When a topic gets sufficiently complex, your big picture intuitions collapse fairly rapidly, and you have to rely on aphorisms and other micro-level thoughts. You can try all you want to get big picture. intuitions, with mind-maps, weird metaphors, or whatever, but there’s a fundamental hardness.
- Give up and stick to symbol level (map literacy)
- Work with “3d projections” — a set of partial slices you CAN big-picture grok
- Work with “patches” — a sort of differential geometric approach where you get good at quilting
Broadly, these map to 3 intellectual stances: textualism, ideology, and pointillism
There IS an alternative, which is to get increasingly idiosyncratic, convincing yourself you are discovering deep, vast hyperdimensional truths, and that you’re “merely” having trouble articulating them for the benefit of others. No, it’s not a “mere” compilation problem.
You are doing what I call vanishing past your own event horizon. Your solution to the problem is to become part of the problem.
