    They’d see your insides!

    There are 4 dimensions and you’re already a 4 dimensional being, just that one of those dimensions is time and it only goes one way and isn’t really a viewable dimension other than a slice or moment I guess. Sometimes physicists talk about a lot more dimensions to make stuff like string theory work, but those are always tiny “curled up” dimensions - their analogy is a cable, viewed from far away it’s a line (1 dimension) but up close as if you were an ant crawling in it it’s a whole world you can crawl around, (2 dimensions just one much smaller and it loops around). If there was a 4 spatial dimension being watching us, we’d probably be pretty boring to them. Do you notice all the bugs crawling around you or on you?

    A Square (the protagonist) asks the Sphere if there is a 4th dimension towards the end of his journey and the Sphere insults him and kicks him back down to Flatland for even suggesting it lol. Just like the King Circle did, or the King Line, or even the Monad in 0 dimensions who didn’t even recognize A Square or the Sphere as bring seperate. The implication is that it just keeps going up forever but most people’s minds are just too closed to ever be curious enough to think about it.

      Oh yeah and the Sphere is very curious how Flatland can really exist how it’s possible that they don’t have some height. A Square was like that in Lineland, he through the Linelanders had to have some kind of width. But they weren’t.

      To 4th dimensional watcher they probably mostly just see our insides and probably can barely perceive our volume outline compared to their hypervolume perception. I wonder if they’d even care about your skin or whatever, they’d mostly see your guts.
